Seminar Notes
These notes are provided to help you prepare for the MLC exam. The information and formulas in the notes are available in any actuarial mathematics textbook or study guide. Please do not try to memorize the formulas for this exam. What you need to do is develop intuition so that the formulas make sense to you and you are not blindly memorizing them. The overwhelming majority of the formulas for this exam have verbal interpretations that make them easy to remember.

Please let me know of any mistakes or typos you find in these notes. Also, if you have comments or suggestions for improvements I would like to hear from you. Please see my FSU webpage for all of my contact information.
