Introduction to the R Programming Language

This course unit is organized into the following activities: Getting Started—The R Environment; Structures in R; Input and Output in R; Manipulating Structures in R; Fundamentals of Algorithms; Programming Structures in R; Group Mini-Project: Creating an R function to address a real-world “water” problem

Objectives*:

The course aims to 1) introduce the basics of the interpreted language used in engineering tools (environment, structures, input/output, structure manipulation, graphics, programming), 2) to provide the fundamental theoretical knowledge needed to create their own functions and programs using practical examples in water sciences so that 3) students can independently continue their self-directed learning and develop expertise in R.
