[Fin525sp09] R Conference

[Adam Gehr]

I still haven't seen the final schedule, so I don't know which papers 
are on Friday and which are on Saturday. The Friday session is certainly 
shorter and clearly the bulk of the papers are on Saturday--unless 
you're planning on going to the tutorials.

R isn't covered in the finance curriculum yet, but I understand that it 
is to be the language that the CDM uses to teach statistics (in any case 
I know of at least one of the CDM faculty who is planning to spend part 
of her Summer studying R). 

We've been talking about using R in  Fin 617--I may try it next year in 
Taiwan--but nothing has come of it yet  and that's an MSF course, not a 
MSCF course, I believe.
