Introduction to R Series

This 4-session course will introduce the R programming language. Designed to build foundational skills, this course acts as a precursor to more specialized courses, whether at TRIADS or elsewhere. We will explore the components of the R/RStudio working environment, delve into handling diverse data structures in R (including vectors, matrices, and data frames), and acquire the skill to create and apply our own functions. The course is structured for maximum accessibility, making it suitable for those with no prior background in any programming language or quantitative methods.

This class will be fully in-person, and participants will use their own laptops. Enrollment is limited to 30. 

Dates of Introduction to R Series (all held in Olin Library, Instruction Room 3 from 2–3:30 pm):
  • Tuesday, January 28
  • Wednesday, January 29
  • Tuesday, February 4
  • Wednesday, February 5
