Korshub's take
Programming from first principles, using R
This CS50-level introduction uses R—a language built for data and statistics. You'll learn to think in code: representing data (vectors, matrices, data frames), filtering by condition, building functions, and handling errors. The course then shows you how R's ecosystem (tidyverse for data wrangling, visualization for graphics) scales these basics into real analysis. By the end, you'll package and test your own code—professional practice from day one.
Perfect for data scientists, statisticians, or anyone starting in R. Uses real datasets so you're always working on problems that matter.
About this course
An introduction to programming using a language called R, a popular language for statistical computing and graphics in data science and other domains. Learn to use RStudio, a popular integrated development environment (IDE). Learn to represent real-world data with vectors, matrices, arrays, lists, and data frames. Filter data with conditions, via which you can analyze subsets of data. Apply functions and loops, via which you can manipulate and summarize data sets. Write functions to modularize code and raise exceptions when something goes wrong. Tidy data with R’s tidyverse and create colorful visualizations with R’s grammar of graphics. By course’s end, learn to package, test, and share R code for others to use. Assignments inspired by real-world data sets.
