Next Friday, I will give in Montréal a crash course entitled Econometric Modeling in Finance and Insurance with the R Language. Since IFM2 wanted this course to be an opportunity to discover R, the first part o fthe course will be on the R language. Slides can be downloaded from here.
(since the course is still scheduled, all comments and remarks are welcomed)

Very useful slideshare. This material is very helpful for those looking to learn.
Thanks for sharing this! The graphic part really opens my eyes as a beginner.
Here are few comments:
P16: a typo on the last line (Ris)
P59: the example looks more like a variable scope issue rather than pass-by-value issue
P104: I don’t think the left panel is a histogram
Nice stuff!!! Might be a typo on title page:: February 2013.
Nice and concise presentation. Thank you.
