In this course, you will use R to perform common data science tasks. You will:
• Set up an R development environment and execute simple code.
• Perform operations on atomic data types in R, including characters, numbers, and logicals.
• Perform operations on data structures in R, including vectors, lists, and data frames.
• Write conditional statements and loops.
• Structure code for reuse with functions and packages.
• Manage data by loading and saving datasets, manipulating data frames, and more.
• Analyze data through exploratory analysis, statistical analysis, and more.
• Create and format data visualizations using base R and ggplot2.
• Create simple statistical models from data.

This course is designed for students who want to learn the R programming language, particularly students who want to leverage R for data analysis and data science tasks in their organization. The course is also designed for students with an interest in applying
statistics to real-world problems.

A typical student in this course should have several years of experience with computing technology, along with a proficiency in at least one other programming language.

To ensure your success in this course, you should be comfortable with basic computer programming concepts, including but not limited to: syntax, data types, conditional statements, loops, and functions.

You should also have at least a high-level understanding of fundamental data science concepts, including but not limited to: data engineering, data analysis, data storage, data visualization, and statistics.
