Delivery and Style

In these two source, author use different style and delivery to describe different aspect of actuarial.

First, in "Unions Bankrolled Analyst Vetting Pension Bill", it use an example to show what the actuary do. It show that actuary can predict how much money should given the retire people, and then it can also related to the law. 

In "THE ACTUARY AND HIS PROFESSION: GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT, PROMISE", it use the person to tell people what he did in these years. Then he made a litter summary of the actuarial science.

There are some difference between article. First, they have different style. In first article, It is an formal journal, and it used third person vision and an event to write one point of actuarial science. It did not use very high style and strong statement. In the second article, it is an informal article. It use the person vision to tell people. It is like to use the experience to describe what is actuarial science. It has many strong statements and points. I think it can bring people a real feeling. So I think it used a very high and strong style. But I think they both use the way of delivery is a little bit similar. The words in this first article is formal, because it is a journal from New York Times.Its delivery is like a report. But another one is more relax, and it just like a person to share his story about actuarial science.

There are two links of these two article.

First, calculate is the basic science which is the significant parts in this major. Then it also introduce what the actuaries do in their daily life. It looks like boring, but they still need to try their best to do the work. Career actuarial science is a high risk and accurate job in the world. Though they can get millions of money, they also endure too much pressure. They must need to understand about many different aspects in science, for example, analysis, technology, and human behavior. Then using calculate to get the final result.
