Ok I give up.  :)  

I have purposely withheld solutions b/c I think some students turn to solutions too quickly.  There is a lot of value in struggling through a problem yourself.  If you can do it then I think you are more likely to remember how to solve the problem vs. looking at somebody else’s solution.  However, I fear that some students are too shy to ask for help.  So I’ve decided to add more solutions.  I’m going to start with the PDF solutions I have already created, then I will add some more video solutions.

Today I added the following PDF solutions for A.1.  You can view these by logging into the site, clicking My Stuff in the top right and then selecting ‘Joint 2/FM Solutions’.

3, 5, 11, 12, 14, 29, 33, 34, 39, 40, 44, 58, 60, 62, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 72, 73, 76, 78, 81, 86, 88

In the solutions to A.6.4 Problems to find the first and second derivative of the assets and liabilities I took the derivative with respect to v when I should have taken the derivative with respect to y (the yield rate).  I’ve corrected the solutions.

Errata, Updates

I’ve had some issues with my email over the last week.  So if you emailed me and didn’t get a response, then please resend.  Sorry.

I’m still waiting on word from the SOA for the exam date.  After I get that date, then I’ll post a suggested study schedule.
