Who this book is for

The book is aimed at readers who wish to use R to solve problems in quantitative finance. Some familiarity with finance is assumed, but we generally provide the financial theory as well. Familiarity with R is not assumed. Those who want to get started with R may find this book useful as we don't give a complete overview of the R language but show how to use parts of it to solve specific problems. Even if you already use R, you will surely be amazed to see the wide range of problems that it can be applied to.
