Introduction to data science in R聽and documenting in Quarto聽
This workshop will introduce you to R, a common statistical programming language used across many courses at 捆绑SM社区 as well as to Quarto (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.聽
