Opis

This edited volume introduces undergraduate students to several diverse and emerging research topics in three major areas of risk management: actuarial science, mathematical finance, and sports analytics. Each chapter is self-contained and provides students with the required background knowledge, context, and relevant references to motivate students and to enable them to successfully undertake research in these areas.  A variety of accessible research projects are included that can be conducted independently or in collaboration with a mentor. Throughout, emphasis is placed on the importance and advantages of interdisciplinary thinking in developing innovative approaches to problem-solving. This volume will also serve as a valuable resource to faculty mentors, graduate students, and others who are interested in supervising undergraduate research.
