Workshop II: Introduction to data science in R and documenting in RMarkdown
This workshop will introduce you to R, a common statistical programming language used across many courses at Æ»¹ûÒùÔº as well as RMarkdown (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.
