INTRODUCTION The main reason for choosing this topic is that we want to know what are the types of mathematics involved in the calculation of life insurance and how the calculations are done. Theory... Why We Need Insurance? According to “Insurance
Principles Practices” by Frederick G. Crane, the answer is that by insuring
their lives, people insure their future incomes. And future income, especially for young
families, is tremendously valuable. The possibility of its being interrupted is a major
