 # LifeContingencies.jl
 
+*Actuarial maths for Julia.*
+
+## Introduction 
+
+LifeContingencies is a package enabling actuarial life contingent calculations.
+The benefits are:
+
+- Integration with other JuliaActuary packages such as [MortalityTables.jl](https://github.com/JuliaActuary/MortalityTables.jl)
+- Fast calculations, with some parts utilizing parallel processing power automatically
+- Use functions that look more like the math you are used to (e.g. `Ax`, `ä`)
+with [Unicode support](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/unicode-input/index.html)
+- All of the power, speed, convenience, tooling, and ecosystem of Julia
+- Flexible and modular modeling approach
+
+## Package Overview
+
+- Leverages [MortalityTables.jl](https://github.com/JuliaActuary/MortalityTables.jl) for
+the mortality calculations
+- Contains common insurance calculations such as:
+    - `A(x)`: Whole life
+    - `A(x,n)`: Term life for `n` years
+    - `ä(x)`: Life contingent annuity due
+    - `ä(x,n)`: Life contingent annuity due for `n` years
+- Contains various commutaion functions such as `D(x)`,`M(x)`,`C(x)`, etc.
+- Various interest rate mechanics (e.g. stochastic, constant, etc.)
+- More documentation available by clicking the DOCS bages at the top of this README
