Notation used in actuarial work

There are a number of special notations particular to actuarial work. For example,

$\displaystyle \require{enclose} EPV = a _{[25]+5:\enclose{actuarial}{30}} ^ {\space 1},$

which is typeset using \[\require{enclose} EPV = a _{[25]+5:\enclose{actuarial}{30}} ^ {\space 1}\]. Further examples are given below.
