Who this book is for

This book is targeted to readers who are familiar with the basic financial concepts and who have some programming skills. However, even if you know the basics of Quantitative Finance, or you already have some programming experience in R, this book provides you with new revelations. In case you are already an expert in one of the topics, this book will get you up and running quickly in the other. However, if you wish to take up the rhythm of the chapters perfectly, you need to be on an intermediate level in Quantitative Finance, and you also need to have a reasonable knowledge in R. Both of these skills can be attained from the first volume of the sequel: Introduction to R for Quantitative Finance.
