Very interesting course for those interested in P&C. This gives a very good introduction to the fundamental pricing concepts used in the industry. Not exceptionally difficult either.

u/milmihook: “I'm debating whether to take CS330 or ACTSC462. It seems like both courses are based heavily on memorizing and reading. I kinda glance through the actsc462 slides on chapter 1 and 2 and it is kinda similar to a combination of mthel131 and acstc371 lol. …”
