What's Actuarial Science?
374096
Actuaries are the mathematicians in the insurance industry. We use mathematics and statistics to estimate the premium to charge for an insurance deal or to estimate how much to set aside to pay for claims.  It takes eight or nine difficult exams to become a fully credentialed actuary in the US.  People who pass all the exams are called Fellows (even females), and will do pretty well financially.

You won't.\nMost companies treat their own actuarial assessment of risk as a very private, trade secret.\nI'd call the insurance professor at your local university and ask in more general terms about risk assessment.\nOr take an actuary class.

I'm considering going back to school to do do that.  My understanding is that it is constantly rated one of the best professions out there.  You do need to be strong in math and then there are a series of tests you need to take and pass in order to be considered a professional actuary (though a lot of companies will hire you after you've taken one or two and help you with the rest).

Actuaries (work with life insurance, pensions, general insurance, finance, etc)\n\nIn the UK once you completed the exams £60,000.  Does go a lot higher.  Probably one of the highest paid jobs...but remember money isn't everything!  You must balance the money-fun equation (more money less time to spend and enjoy it, less money more time to spend!)\n\nBut certainly in the UK mathematicians are in demand (along with IT.  I have people working in our admin who have history and English degrees - because there are simply no jobs for them (the ones who have maths A level - go into accounting).

Much. If you have a liking for maths, than try to become an actuary after this. If you don't like maths than try Economics masters. This will be enough to make you an university professor and you will earn a handsome salary. Also you may go on to become CFA. You have unlimited scope but only attempt it if you like economics.

Statistics is applicable in every field of science which involves the data analysis.\nIf You wanna know the reliability of a medicine to patient, statistics can predict the results in some level of confidence.\nThe pills and medicines to stop pregnancy is tested in this way.

Insurance policy is a service only. But it is also to gain profit. They estimate the average life time of the citizens and then only fixing their premium for life insurance. But there is also risk in it. There is a popular investment principle "Largest expected returns are associtated with riskiest ventures"

You are going to have to directly ask an actuary or professor of actuarial science.  You may redirect this question to the mathematics section.  I have a great statistics background and I don't know where to find the answer to that.  I can tell you the history of Sommer's D, which is an obscure but unbelievably useful statistic, but I cannot tell you the origin of the name for that.
