Welcome

Welcome to the website for R for Finance. This innovative manual will teach you the practical application of R to finance. Like most serious finance books, mathematics will be an invaluable medium for communicating ideas. But unlike standard quantitative treatments of finance, mathematics will not be our only tool. In fact, our primary means of learning and discovery will be the wrangling and analyzing of real-world data.

These pages distill thousands of hours of formal study through the filter of a decade of trading and analysis work in various areas of quantitative finance. I have included only what is useful, timely, and relevant.

This website is free to use and always will be. R for Finance is written in RMarkdown along with bookdown. Many thanks to the developers at R Studio for creating such wonderful packages for authoring - this book would not have been possible without those tools.
