Intro to R
Week 2
Overview
This week covers the fundamentals of programming in R: what R and RStudio actually are and why we’re using them, and the basic building blocks of the language — creating and naming objects, calling functions and their arguments, R’s core data types (numeric, character, boolean), and the two data structures we’ll lean on all semester, vectors and data frames. We’ll also start working with a real data frame — summarizing variables, handling missing values, and creating new variables — laying the foundation for everything that follows.

Intro to R
We’ll work through these lessons together, live, in class — following along on the Math 130 site rather than duplicating the material here.
