Actuarial notation is a shorthand method to allow actuaries to record mathematical formulas that deal with interest rates and life tables. ...more on Wikipedia about "Actuarial notation"

Actuarial science applies mathematical and statistical methods to finance and insurance, particularly to the assessment of risk. Actuaries are professionals who are qualified in this field. ...more on Wikipedia about "Actuarial science"

Annuity Functions are mathematical functions frequently used by Actuarial science students in their introduction to the mathematics of finance and more specifically in their introduction to annuities. ...more on Wikipedia about "Annuity function"

Applied mathematics is a branch of mathematics that concerns itself with the application of mathematical knowledge to other domains. Such applications include numerical analysis, mathematical physics, mathematics of engineering, linear programming, optimization and operations research, continuous modelling, mathematical biology and bioinformatics, information theory, game theory, probability and statistics, mathematical economics, financial mathematics, actuarial science, cryptography and hence combinatorics and even finite geometry to some extent, graph theory as applied to network analysis, and a great deal of what is called computer science. ...more on Wikipedia about "Applied mathematics"

Much research involving probability is done under the auspices of applied probability, the application of probability theory to other scientific domains. However, while such research is motivated (to some degree) by applied problems, it is usually the mathematical aspects of the problems that are of most interest to researchers (as is typical of applied mathematics in general). ...more on Wikipedia about "Applied probability"

Continuous modelling is the mathematical practice of applying a model to continuous data (data which has a potentially infinite number, and divisibility, of attributes). They often use differential equations and are converse to discrete modelling. ...more on Wikipedia about "Continuous modelling"

Cryptography is the field concerned with linguistic and mathematical techniques for securing information, particularly in communications. Historically, cryptography was concerned solely with encryption; that is, means of converting information from its normal, comprehensible form into an incomprehensible format, rendering it unreadable without secret knowledge. Encryption was used primarily to ensure secrecy in important communications, such as those of spies, military leaders, and diplomats. In recent decades, however, the field of cryptography has expanded its remit: modern cryptography provides mechanisms for more than just keeping secrets and has a variety of applications including, for example, authentication, digital signatures, electronic voting and digital cash. Moreover, people without extraordinary needs for secrecy use cryptographic technology, which is often built transparently into much of computing and telecommunications infrastructure. ...more on Wikipedia about "Cryptography"

Most applications of differential equations occur in mathematical models in the physical sciences. However, some occur in biology, economics and other disciplines. ...more on Wikipedia about "Differential equations from outside physics"

Discrete modelling is the discrete analogue of continuous modelling. In discrete modelling, discrete formulae are fit to data. A common method in this form of modelling is to use recurrence relations. ...more on Wikipedia about "Discrete modelling"

A finite geometry is any geometric system that has only a finite number of points. ...more on Wikipedia about "Finite geometry"

Inverse distance weighting (IDW) is a simple method for curve fitting, a process of assigning values to unknown points by using values from known points. A simple IDW weighting factor is ...more on Wikipedia about "Inverse distance weighting"

The inverse problem is the task that often occurs in many branches of science and mathematics where the values of some model parameter(s) must be obtained via manipulation of observed data. ...more on Wikipedia about "Inverse problem"

Mathematical economics is the sub-field of economics that explores the mathematical aspects of economic systems. ...more on Wikipedia about "Mathematical economics"

Mathematical finance is the branch of applied mathematics concerned with the financial markets. The subject naturally has a close relationship with the discipline of financial economics, however the subject is narrower in scope and more abstract. A central difference is that whilst a financial economist might study the structural reasons why a company may have a certain share price, a mathematician may take the share price as a given, and attempt to use stochastic calculus to obtain the fair value of derivatives of the stock. ...more on Wikipedia about "Mathematical finance"

A mathematical model is an abstract model that uses mathematical language to describe the behaviour of a system. Mathematical models are used particularly in the natural sciences and engineering disciplines (such as physics, biology, and electrical engineering) but also in the social sciences (such as economics, sociology and political science); physicists, engineers, computer scientists, and economists use mathematical models most extensively. ...more on Wikipedia about "Mathematical model"

Mohr-Coulomb Theory is a mathematical model describing the response of rubble piles to the shear forces produced by gravity. ...more on Wikipedia about "Mohr-Coulomb theory"

Network theory is a branch of applied mathematics and physics, with the same general subject matter as graph theory. Network theory concerns itself with the study of graphs as a representation of either symmetric relations or, more generally, of a assymetric relations between discrete objects. Typically, the graphs of concern in network theory are complex networks, examples of which include the World Wide Web, the Internet, gene regulatory networks, metabolic networks, social networks, epistemological networks, etc. See list of network theory topics for the scope of the area. ...more on Wikipedia about "Network theory"

Operations research, operational research, or simply OR, is the use of mathematical models, statistics and algorithms to aid in decision-making. It is most often used to analyze complex real-world systems, typically with the goal of improving or optimizing performance. It is one form of applied mathematics. ...more on Wikipedia about "Operations research"

In applied mathematics, a point process is a type of stochastic process that is widely used in many fields, such as queueing theory and neuroscience. ...more on Wikipedia about "Point process"

The word probability derives from the Latin probare (to prove, or to test). ...more on Wikipedia about "Probability"

Statistics refers to the branch of mathematics that deals with the collection, analysis, interpretation and presentation of masses of numerical data. It is applicable to a wide variety of academic disciplines from the physical and social sciences to the humanities, as well as to business, government, and industry. ...more on Wikipedia about "Statistics"
