+# actuarialangle
+
+This package defines a single command `\actuarialangle` to typeset
+nice looking "angles" in actuarial and financial notation, such as in
+symbols for the present value of an annuity.
+
+## Licence
+
+Public Domain
+
+## Author
+
+The code in this package was given to me (Vincent Goulet
+<vincent.goulet@act.ulaval.ca>) by a former colleague who would simply
+copy it in the preamble of all his documents needing an "angle"
+symbol. The actual author of the code is unknown.
+
+My sole contribution was to make a package out of the code.
+
+## Installation
+
+The package is part of TeX Live and MiKTeX. If it is not already
+installed on your system, copy `actuarialangle.sty` where LaTeX can
+find it.
+
+## Usage
+
+Load the package as usual with
+
+    \usepackage{actuarialangle}
+
+Then, in math mode, use
+
+    \actuarialangle{n}
+
+to typeset "angle n". For a complete present value symbol, use
+something like
+
+    a_{\actuarialangle{n}}
+
+You will most likely want to use the following shortcuts:
+
+- `\angl`  for `\actuarialangle`
+- `\angln` for `\angl{n}`
+- `\anglr` for `\angl{r}`
+
+
+## Version history
+
+### 2017-02-01
+
+- Various improvements to the `README` file.
+- `README` file converted to markdown format (and therefore renamed
+  `README.md`) after the project was moved to
+  [GitHub](https://github.com/vigou3/actuarialangle).
+
+### 2012-10-16
+
+- First version on CRAN.
