As actuaries work more and more with teams of data scientists and software engineers, they are more likely to encounter use of the Python programming language. While R is an environment for performing statistical analysis, Python is a general purpose programming language.
This workshop will provide an introduction to Python and show how to perform data collection, data visualization, and data analysis in Python. There will be six 90-minute sessions.

When the Casualty Actuarial Society began administering the multiple-choice exams MAS-I and MAS-II in 2018, a 0.25-point penalty was assessed for each incorrect response to prevent a candidate from guessing correct responses. In September 2021, in conjunction with the release of the Admissions Transformation Plan, and motivated heavily by candidate feedback, staff and volunteer input, the decision was made to remove the guessing penalty.
The CAS is pleased to announce that as part of the announced Admissions Transformation Plan, computer-based practice exams for the MAS exams will be available exclusively for candidates that are registered for the fall 2022 sitting of MAS-I and/or MAS-II.
In the spirit of our on-going commitment to transparency as we announce key milestones of the Admissions Transformation Plan (ATP), the CAS is sharing details regarding the process for deciding changes to topics covered on CAS exams.
