Workshop: R Programming Summer Camp
Introduction to data science in RÂ and documenting in QuartoÂ
This workshop will introduce you to R, a common statistical programming language used across many courses at ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ as well as to Quarto (typesetting language useful for producing documents that contain mathematical content and code). These are very useful and powerful tools, but they have somewhat of a steep learning curve. So, the goal of this part of the workshop is to get you up a good part of that learning curve.Â
