Lesson 1
Introduction to R
In this lesson, you will learn about why R is so popular for Data Analysis, learn how to set up R on your own machine, and see how you can use R directly within the classroom.
Introduction to R Programming
Course
In this course, you’ll learn to represent and store data using R data types and variables, and use conditionals and loops to control the flow of your programs. You’ll harness the power of complex data structures like lists, sets, dictionaries, and tuples to store collections of related data. You’ll define and document your own custom functions, write scripts, and handle errors. You will also learn to use two powerful R libraries - Numpy, a scientific computing package, and Pandas, a data manipulation package.
