Actuarial science : a man's work? : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

This discussion of the gender gap in mathematics focuses on the field of actuarial science. It is an exploration of the existence and continuance of the disparities between men and women in mathematics, and how it has affected various women in my profession. Finally, there is an analysis of what we can do to close the gender gap. It is an attempt to find out what is in store for future female actuaries like myself.
