Abstract

The paper contains a basic course on classical Risk Theory for a compound Poisson process. It is based on probabilistic proofs using the method of the "Ballot Theorem" introduced by Tackas. This provides elegant and direct proofs. Also large deviation methods are used to study the distribution of the time to ruin.
