R is broad and powerful, with many analytic and graphic functions available (more than 20,000). With guidelines and instructions, you can navigate the tremendous resources available in R thereby accomplishing your work with style, elegance and efficiency.
Many people and researchers despise statistics, mainly due to non-mathematical background. This makes understanding complex statistical equations very difficult. The advent of computer programs such as R and the like provides a unique opportunity to teach statistics at a conceptual level without getting too bogged down in equations. However, the downside of the computer is that it makes it easy to err critically if we do not understand what we are doing. Running an analysis using a computer without any statistical knowledge can be really misleading. Hence this course could be called Unearthing the Statistician in You Using R.
