What is actuarial science?
Actuarial science uses mathematics and statistics to evaluate risk and predict probable outcomes. The most common application of this is in insurance and pensions. In both of these fields, there is uncertainty (how much needs to be paid) that is estimated by the actuary. The actuary uses what happened in the past to try to predict the future.
