先来介绍课程
UW-Madison精算的课程非常齐全,除了正常的lecture外,P,FM, MFE还有专门的一学分备考课程,一般上完课之后就可以直接考试了,MLC也有discussion。一下是每个精算考试相对应的课程
MATH431 or STAT or STAT 311 and Act Sci 300(一学分习题课)——Course P/1
Act Sci 303 and Act Sci 301 (一学分习题课) ——FM/2
Act Sci650 and Act Sci 651 (两学期上完)—— MLC
Act Sci 652 and Act Sci 653 (两学期上完)—— C
Act Sci 365 (一学分习题课) and FIN 330 —— MFE
所以说,如果大一第一学期学习完微积分,第二学期开始学精算课,到毕业的时候就可以修完所有的课程了。不过有一些课程并不是必修,楼主会在接下来的帖子说
关于VEE,UWmadison也有很多课程可以帮助通过VEE认证,详细资料可以到soa官网的vee dictionary找
