The aim of this course is to familiarize students with mathematical applications in finance and insurance. The main operations are included in this course, namely operations related to the possibilities of using mathematics to simple and compound interest, savings, pension calculations, calculation of the present value of stocks and bonds, as well as the possibility of using mathematics in determining the amount of insurance in both life and non-life insurance, including the establishment of technical provisions.
