Показать описание
A paper from 1693 is a seminal work on estimating populations, longevity, and enabling actuarial science. How long will you live? How does your life expectancy change as you age? Is it better to buy a ten year bond or ten years of life insurance?

Life tables, presented in Edmund Halley's 1693 paper discusses all of this. Learn more in this video, inspired by a small exhibit at London's Science Museum.

I've been watching your videos for a year or so, since I love your insight into software engineering (something I'm intrigued by!) and interview questions.

I also work as a pricing actuary for an Australian life insurer, so it was unexpected to see a random actuarial video pop up on your channel! Maybe you could have been an actuary in another life!
