+# actuarialsymbol
+
+Package `actuarialsymbol` provides commands to compose
+actuarial symbols of life contingencies and financial mathematics
+characterized by subscripts and superscripts on both sides of a
+principal symbol. The package also features commands to easily and
+consistently position precedence numbers above or below statuses
+in symbols for multiple lives contracts.
+
+Since the actuarial notation can get quite involved. the package
+defines a number of shortcut macros to ease entry of the most common
+elements. Appendix A of the package documentation lists the commands
+to typeset a large selection of symbols of life contingencies.
