Calculus and Probability: For Actuarial Students. E-book. Formato PDF Alfred Henry - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
Actuarial science is peculiarly dependent upon the Theory of Probabilities, the solution of many of its problems is best effected by resort to the Differential and Integral Calculus and in practical work the Calculus of Finite Differences is almost indispensable. Excellent text-books on these subjects are, of course, available but none of them has been written with the special requirements of the actuary in view. In beginning his training the student is, therefore, confronted by the difficulty of judicious selection and in the circumstances it has appeared to the Council of the Institute of Actuaries that a mathematical text-book sufficiently comprehensive, with the standard works on Higher Algebra, to provide the ground-work of an actuarial education would be of great value. At the request of the Council, Mr Alfred Henry has undertaken the preparation of such a work and the resulting volume is issued in the confident expectation that it will materially lighten the toil of those who essay to qualify themselves for an actuarial career.
Nicholas Breakspear (Adrian IV.): Englishman and Pope. E-book. Formato PDF Alfred Henry Tarleton - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
I can, however, claim that I have done my best to verify all the statements I have made, and have appended a full bibliography for those who care to make, further researches. One thing more: Whoever writes the life of a Pope is bound to tread upon delicate ground, and to run the risk of wounding the susceptibilities of some. I would, therefore, if I have anywhere expressed opinions which are offensive to any body of Christians, express my regret here once for all, merely saying that I have at least made an honest endeavour to present controversial matter in an impartial light.
