Introduction to the Theory of Life Contingencies
By M.A. Mackenzie, N.E. Sheppard · Published 1931 · Public domain (original) · Scan © Glenn Cooke
Hard core comprehensive life contingencies textbook. It covers everything from life tables to force of mortality to premiums, policy values, select risks, loadings, and substandard lives. Content is similiar to current actuarial exams. Author N.E. Sheppard was a University of Toronto professor for 50 years. Also, he fought in a tank division in WWI, and set up the pension plan for the staff of the United Nations. This guy was one hardcore actuary.
