Introduction, tidying, transformation, visualization, and modeling of data. With the book Programming in R for Data Science, you will learn to use R to gain insights, in-depth knowledge, and understanding from raw data.

You will get to know R, RStudio, as well as the tidyverse collection of R packages, which are designed to work together harmoniously, to speed up and facilitate data science, and to make it a bit more enjoyable. The book is suitable even for those who have no programming experience whatsoever and was written to help you start engaging with data science immediately.

The authors Hadley Wickham and Garrett Grolemund will guide you through the stages of data introduction, manipulation, exploration, and modeling, as well as how to present the results. You will learn and understand the entire data science cycle, along with all the essential tools you will need to manage the details.

You will learn:

• To handle data – transforming datasets into formats that facilitate analysis
• To write programming code – learning powerful tools in R to solve data problems with greater ease and clarity
• To explore the data – examining it, generating hypotheses, and conducting quick tests
• To model problems – using a concise visualization of low dimensions that will capture the true "signals" hidden within the datasets
• To communicate the results – learning R Markdown to present texts, code, and results together

Table of contents: Linear Algebra, Fourier Series, Differential and Integral Calculus for Multivariable Functions, Ordinary Differential Equations, Fourier Transforms, Laplace Transforms, Exercises, Bibliography, Index.

They said about the book: “Hadley Wickham is a legendary figure in the field of data science, as he devised an entirely new method for analyzing data that no one had thought of before. His new book, in collaboration with Garrett Grolemund, encodes this innovative approach and will be the Bible for the next generation of data analysts.” – Roger D. Peng, Professor of Biostatistics, Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University.

Hadley Wickham is the Chief Scientist of RStudio and a member of the R Foundation. He creates tools (computational and cognitive) that make data science easier, faster, and more fun. Garrett Grolemund is a statistician, professor, and Expert Instructor at RStudio, and author of the book Hands-On Programming with R.
