Objectivos
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.

Metodologia de avaliação
The curricular unit will be taught by means of theoretical-practical lectures using slides to underline the main points. An intensive use of the computer by all students will be required.
The final grade, on a 0-20 scale, is assigned on the basis of an exam to be answered using the computer.
