# 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 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.
