Learning R: Fundamental Concepts with RStudio

Join us on an exciting journey into the world of data with our introductory workshops! Tailored for newcomers with little to no experience in R or other scripted tools, we offer a low-barrier entry to unleash your computer’s potential for data mastery, moving beyond Excel or SPSS. Join us and discover the power of data in a user-friendly, script-driven environment!

This week’s session will introduce participants to fundamental concepts in R that will help them excel at more advanced applications. Topics covered include the application of simple math, core data types and structures, an overview of vector operations, and how to navigate getting help. The workshop will be run using RStudio.

By the end of the session, participants should feel familiar with RStudio as an environment for interactive analysis in R, be able to identify and articulate use cases for common data structures, and know a few key ways to get additional help when they run into trouble.
