Computation Tools for Actuaries (1 º Sem 2019/2020)

Information systems are important tools for actuaries, as they make it possible to automatically perform complex calculations on large data sets. In this context, an essential skill lies in the ability to express solutions to actuarial problems using appropriate computational tools. This course aims providing actuaries with a set of conceptual and practical computational tools, ranging from simple formulas computed in a spreadsheet (typically Excel) to programs written in R.
