Hello, let me introduce myself, I'm Phillip Eric, I'll be your course instructor.

2
00:00:07,050 --> 00:00:09,930
I've been an actuarial consultant for 15 years now.

3
00:00:10,050 --> 00:00:16,350
In that time, I've learned to work with Excel, Matlab, R and a whole suite of other tools, computer

4
00:00:16,350 --> 00:00:17,640
languages and systems.

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,510
Problem solving is what I do.

6
00:00:21,540 --> 00:00:25,500
I take data, I identify problems, and I solve them.

7
00:00:26,190 --> 00:00:32,400
And one of the big problems that many of my clients and many of my employees have faced is working with

8
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:37,530
technology and the tools available to them in an efficient and functional way.

9
00:00:38,850 --> 00:00:44,700
I want you to be able to work smarter, not harder, to be able to use tools to solve the problems that

10
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:50,790
you face quickly and easily, rather than struggling through them using hard manual processes.

11
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,540
And that's what I try to achieve with my courses.

12
00:00:54,030 --> 00:01:00,550
I hope this course helps you pick up a new skill and use it towards your work in such a way.

13
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,000
Thank you so much for taking my course.
