A property of paper or paperboard used in packaging that measures its resistance to rupturing, defined as the hydrostatic pressure needed to burst a paperboard sample when it is applied uniformly across its side.ursting strength is a function of various processes performed in the papermaking process. The increased use of fillers decreases bursting strength, while the increased use of longer fibers and surface sizing increases a paper's bursting strength.
What is Actuarial Science? Actuarial science applies mathematical and statistical methods to finance and insurance, particularly to the assessment of risk. Actuarial science includes a number of interrelating disciplines, in particular the mathematics of probability and statistics.
An actuary is a mathematically-oriented business person who will most likely be a manager or supervisor at some point in his/her career. A course of study culminating in a bachelor of science degree with a major in actuarial science is an excellent educational background for prospective actuaries. Additional information is available at www.BeAnActuary.org. The actuarial science program is designed to prepare students for the current industry demands.
