My book, "The R Student Companion" (CRC Press), has a number of financial examples throughout (such as exponential growth, monthly loan payment, simulation of stochastic investment return). It is one of the more elementary books on R available and is designed for high school or college science and math classes. Its premise is that R is way more than a statistics package; it is a comprehensive tool for scientific calculations, modeling, and graphing.
One R to rule them all!
