An Actuarial Note on Actuarial Notation [Discussion]

In his note, Mr. Lange has demonstrated diligent research on the problem of standardized notation for actuarial work. He has conveyed a sense of the history of the development of the notation used by life insurance actuaries, a sense of the utility derived from the standardization of that notation, and a sense of the problems which still exist in that area. The author develops the inter-relationship of the problems of standardizing notation for working purposes with those of standardizing expressions for use in computer language systems and those of reasonable notation for printing purposes.
