R is used across academic disciplines for data processing, analysis, and visualization. This introduction to R will help those who have never used R before become familiar with the RStudio environment, learn how to import data, and perform basic data manipulation tasks and calculations. We will also discuss how to use the documentation, as well as resources for learning and practicing R on your own. Bring your laptop to follow along.
