At the first lecture, the course syllabus was presented to comprise 1) theory and applications as presented during the lectures 2) training exercises and 3) written notes/articles to be disseminated during the course.

I am not aware of any single textbook well suited for the course. However, one textbook that covers many of the topics of the course is: Harry Panjer et. al.: Financial Economics, with Applications to Investments, Insurance and Pensions. ISBN 0-938959-48-4.

The training exercises ("oppgaver") are in Norwegian, and as previously communicated we are optimistic to have them translated to English. Until this is in place, students who do not have Norwegian as their native tongue should obtain translation support from their fellow students
