R is both a programming language and an interactive environment for statistics. Today we will be concentrating on R as an interactive environment.
We will be using RStudio, a friendly front end to R. On the day, we will be using RStudio from the web, but you can also install R and RStudio on your laptop. Both R and RStudio are free.
