Sinopsis
Excerpt from Practical Lessons in Actuarial Science: An Elementary Text-Book, Containing, Also, All Mortality Tables That Have Ever Been Standard Anywhere, With Corresponding Commutation Columns
AN elementary text-book in actuarial science has long been needed; and a consciousness of that need, growing out of my own experience, prompts the preparation of this book.
The student has either been compelled to turn to books from which he could only pick out what he needed piece meal after a great waste of energy; or to books which were wofully incomplete; or to books which were barren of explanations intelligible to him.

Excerpt from Practical Lessons in Actuarial Science: An Elementary Text-Book, Containing, Also, All Mortality Tables That Have Ever Been Standard Anywhere, With Corresponding Commutation Columns
In so large and comprehensive a work as Practical Lessons in Actuarial Science, it is not to be expected that the first edition will be wholly free from errors.
But one error in the text has been reported, viz., on page 94, James J. Barker should be Jesse J. Barker.
It is believed that the formulas are free from material errors.
The following errors have been discovered in the tables: First, instead of 100, 000 in D column, page 454, read 1, 000, 000.
Second, The following columns had not been changed from the Farr notation to the Davies: N column, pages 316 and 317, and pages 318 and 319; S column, pages 408, 409, 410, 411, 414, 415, 416, 417. In using these columns in the formulas given in this book, the figures opposite age 21 should be used as if opposite age 20, those opposite age 22 as if opposite 21, and so on.
Third, originally Craig's Modified Actuaries' Table was called in this book "Craig's Industrial Table," Mr. Dawson being or the opinion that it was suitable for use in industrial insurance. Mr. Craig protested against this form of putting it, on the ground that it subjected him to the inference of being responsible for that use of the table. Mr. Craig prepared the table for impaired lives only and desired that it should be so known. Accordingly, the name "Craig's Impaired Life Table" is used in this book in order that no misunderstanding may exist as to what Mr. Craig intended it for. A new introduction and suitable headings have been substituted for those which originally appeared.
The use of the tables on pages 70 to 72, inclusive, and on pages 382 to 391, inclusive, and on pages 491 to 499, inclusive, has been sanctioned by the Institute of Actuaries of Great Britain.
