Anyone?

I am a Umich Act Sci alumni, would like to meet some new friends here who are also from UMich. And yes, I have taken the contingency class taught by our well-known Professor Huntington. =)

I didn't go to UofM for undergrad but did get my MSFE there a few years back.

I took the contingencies from lesser known, but not necessarily a lesser professor, Professor Moore.

Class of 95 here. Took Contingencies, Risk Analysis (523) and Interest Theory with Professor Huntington. Almost 12 years later, I find that I still talk about him occasionally.

Huntington is just a very unique professor in my honest opinion. =)
I also had Moore for actuarial classes, she is a very nice lady.
haha I have heard that Huntington still travels around the world all the time and teach less class now.....

hi, greetings from Ann Arbor. I'm a junior, and currently in life con II with Prof. Young. Couldn't agree more with all of you about Prof Huntington and Prof. Moore (I took 424 - Interest Theory with her). Prof Young is great too.

To put it in a nutshell:
Prof Young - great teacher
Prof Moore - great researcher
Prof Huntington - great mentor

Also, Prof. Huntington is only teaching Math 422 now, and is involved with much more management stuff for the Math Dept. He still travels a lot.

Corrections:
Prof. Young - great researcher
Prof. Moore - great teacher

I thought Ginny Young was the researcher and Moore the teacher. I like how professor Young writes from right to left since she doesn't cover up her writing as she goes thought it takes a bit to get used to.

Man, if you don't have contingincies with Huntington, do you hear the story about how he sent a letter telling his mother she had died on NE Life's tables?

I know his mom passed recently, but he liked telling that story when going over limiting ages.

PhD in Industrial and Operations Engineering, 1995.

Professor Robert Smith was my advisor.

I played bridge with several people from the math graduate department, although I've heard that U of Mich no longer even has a bridge club...

Ooops. I messed up.

Hopefully, they aren't reading these posts.

I took courses from Gerber, Jones, and Nesbitt. Nesbitt used his own text (Butcher and Nesbitt) for Compound Interest, but I passed anyway. :tup:

I also took Life Contingencies and Pension Theory from him. He was a great teacher, and you worked to keep up with him.

I'm a current Act Math student at Michigan. I have Huntington this year for 520 -Life Contingencies.

Hey there, I'm applying to U Mich for fall 08 semester. Can anyone tell me how is the actuarial program there like and internship opportunities in there? Thanks in advance. =)

[Jessica Chung]

I got admitted into UMich for the Fall 08 semester~~!!!! Anyone else?? =)

[jianglir]

Welcome Jessica.
I just graduated from UM. Those 3 profs they discussed above are great. you should work fine with them. just start writing your resume like in Sep coz companies come to campus in Oct.

[ypchung]

Wonderful! I can't wait to take their classes then. How high is the chances of getting an internship? Is there anything I should do now to increase my chances of getting one? I'm a freshman in UM by the way. :D

I got my Ph D from the department of Industrial and Operations Engineering.

Curiously, posting this means that I'm eligible for the AOSCDME, I believe.

"A poster could also "un-retire" during the nomination phase and become eligible."

I have a feeling I'm going to be left out of it again, though.
