   premier open source solution for financial market analysis and 
   valuation of financial instruments. With hundreds of functions build 
   on modern and powerful methods Rmetrics combines explorative data 
   analysis and statistical modeling with object oriented rapid 
   prototyping. Rmetrics is embedded in R, both building an environment 
   which creates especially for students and researchers in the third 
   world a first class system for applications in statistics and 
   finance. Rmetrics allows you to study all the source code, so you can 
   find out precisely which variation of the algorithm or method has 
   been implemented. This let's you understand what the source code 
   does. Thus Rmetrics can be considered as a unique platform ideally 
   suited for teaching financial engineering and computational finance. </FONT></FONT></B></P>

    for Rmetrics covering the topics from packages fBasics, fSeries,

    written for my lectures at ETH Z&uuml;rich. These scripts are updated 
    each time when I start a new lecture, the next will be in summer 
    2005. So, unfortunately, the scripts are somewhat outdated which may 
    partly limit their practical use together with latest versaion of the software.</FONT></FONT></P>
