+R is a statistical computing language. It has lots of libraries for uploading and cleaning data sets, running statistical procedures, and making graphs. You can also run `R` commands within a LaTeX document.
+
+```r
+
+# Comments start with number symbols.
+
+# You can't make multi-line comments,
+# but you can stack multiple comments like so.
+
+# in Windows you can use CTRL-ENTER to execute a line.
+# on Mac it is COMMAND-ENTER

+# Data types and basic arithmetic
+##################################################
+
+# Now for the programming-oriented part of the tutorial.
+# In this section you will meet the important data types of R:
+# integers, numerics, characters, logicals, and factors.
+# There are others, but these are the bare minimum you need to
+# get started.
+
+# INTEGERS
+# Long-storage integers are written with L
+5L # 5
+class(5L) # "integer"
+# (Try ?class for more information on the class() function.)
+# In R, every single value, like 5L, is considered a vector of length 1
+length(5L) # 1
+# You can have an integer vector with length > 1 too:
+c(4L, 5L, 8L, 3L) # 4 5 8 3
+length(c(4L, 5L, 8L, 3L)) # 4
+class(c(4L, 5L, 8L, 3L)) # "integer"
+
+# NUMERICS
+# A "numeric" is a double-precision floating-point number
+5 # 5
+class(5) # "numeric"
+# Again, everything in R is a vector;
+# you can make a numeric vector with more than one element
+c(3,3,3,2,2,1) # 3 3 3 2 2 1
+# You can use scientific notation too
+5e4 # 50000
+6.02e23 # Avogadro's number
+1.6e-35 # Planck length
+# You can also have infinitely large or small numbers
+class(Inf) # "numeric"
+class(-Inf) # "numeric"
+# You might use "Inf", for example, in integrate(dnorm, 3, Inf);
+# this obviates Z-score tables.
+
+# BASIC ARITHMETIC
+# You can do arithmetic with numbers
+# Doing arithmetic on a mix of integers and numerics gives you another numeric
+10L + 66L # 76 # integer plus integer gives integer
+53.2 - 4 # 49.2 # numeric minus numeric gives numeric
+2.0 * 2L # 4 # numeric times integer gives numeric
+3L / 4 # 0.75 # integer over numeric gives numeric
+3 %% 2 # 1 # the remainder of two numerics is another numeric
+# Illegal arithmetic yeilds you a "not-a-number":
+0 / 0 # NaN
+class(NaN) # "numeric"
+# You can do arithmetic on two vectors with length greater than 1,
+# so long as the larger vector's length is an integer multiple of the smaller
+c(1,2,3) + c(1,2,3) # 2 4 6
+# Since a single number is a vector of length one, scalars are applied
+# elementwise to vectors
+(4 * c(1,2,3) - 2) / 2 # 1 3 5
+# Except for scalars, use caution when performing arithmetic on vectors with
+# different lengths. Although it can be done,
+c(1,2,3,1,2,3) * c(1,2) # 1 4 3 2 2 6
+# Matching lengths is better practice and easier to read
+c(1,2,3,1,2,3) * c(1,2,1,2,1,2)
+
+# CHARACTERS
+# There's no difference between strings and characters in R
+"Horatio" # "Horatio"
+class("Horatio") # "character"
+class('H') # "character"
+# Those were both character vectors of length 1
+# Here is a longer one:
+c('alef', 'bet', 'gimmel', 'dalet', 'he')
+# =>
+# "alef" "bet" "gimmel" "dalet" "he"
+length(c("Call","me","Ishmael")) # 3
+# You can do regex operations on character vectors:
+substr("Fortuna multis dat nimis, nulli satis.", 9, 15) # "multis "
+gsub('u', 'ø', "Fortuna multis dat nimis, nulli satis.") # "Fortøna møltis dat nimis, nølli satis."
+# R has several built-in character vectors:
+letters
+# =>
+# [1] "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g" "h" "i" "j" "k" "l" "m" "n" "o" "p" "q" "r" "s"
+# [20] "t" "u" "v" "w" "x" "y" "z"
+month.abb # "Jan" "Feb" "Mar" "Apr" "May" "Jun" "Jul" "Aug" "Sep" "Oct" "Nov" "Dec"
+
+# LOGICALS
+# In R, a "logical" is a boolean
+class(TRUE) # "logical"
+class(FALSE) # "logical"
+# Their behavior is normal
+TRUE == TRUE # TRUE
+TRUE == FALSE # FALSE
+FALSE != FALSE # FALSE
+FALSE != TRUE # TRUE
+# Missing data (NA) is logical, too
+class(NA) # "logical"
+# Use | and & for logic operations.
+# OR
+TRUE | FALSE # TRUE
+# AND
+TRUE & FALSE # FALSE
+# Applying | and & to vectors returns elementwise logic operations
+c(TRUE,FALSE,FALSE) | c(FALSE,TRUE,FALSE) # TRUE TRUE FALSE
+c(TRUE,FALSE,TRUE) & c(FALSE,TRUE,TRUE) # FALSE FALSE TRUE
+# You can test if x is TRUE
+isTRUE(TRUE) # TRUE
+# Here we get a logical vector with many elements:
+c('Z', 'o', 'r', 'r', 'o') == "Zorro" # FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
+c('Z', 'o', 'r', 'r', 'o') == "Z" # TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
+
+# FACTORS
+# The factor class is for categorical data
+# Factors can be ordered (like childrens' grade levels) or unordered (like gender)
+factor(c("female", "female", "male", NA, "female"))
+# female female male <NA> female
+# Levels: female male
+# The "levels" are the values the categorical data can take
+# Note that missing data does not enter the levels
+levels(factor(c("male", "male", "female", NA, "female"))) # "female" "male"
+# If a factor vector has length 1, its levels will have length 1, too
+length(factor("male")) # 1
+length(levels(factor("male"))) # 1
+# Factors are commonly seen in data frames, a data structure we will cover later
+data(infert) # "Infertility after Spontaneous and Induced Abortion"
+levels(infert$education) # "0-5yrs" "6-11yrs" "12+ yrs"
+
+# NULL
+# "NULL" is a weird one; use it to "blank out" a vector
+class(NULL) # NULL
+parakeet = c("beak", "feathers", "wings", "eyes")
+parakeet
+# =>
+# [1] "beak" "feathers" "wings" "eyes"
+parakeet <- NULL
+parakeet
+# =>
+# NULL
+
+# TYPE COERCION
+# Type-coercion is when you force a value to take on a different type
+as.character(c(6, 8)) # "6" "8"
+as.logical(c(1,0,1,1)) # TRUE FALSE TRUE TRUE
+# If you put elements of different types into a vector, weird coercions happen:
+c(TRUE, 4) # 1 4
+c("dog", TRUE, 4) # "dog" "TRUE" "4"
+as.numeric("Bilbo")
+# =>
+# [1] NA
+# Warning message:
+# NAs introduced by coercion
+
+# Also note: those were just the basic data types
+# There are many more data types, such as for dates, time series, etc.
+

+# Variables, loops, if/else
+##################################################
+
+# A variable is like a box you store a value in for later use.
+# We call this "assigning" the value to the variable.
+# Having variables lets us write loops, functions, and if/else statements
+
+# VARIABLES
+# Lots of way to assign stuff:
+x = 5 # this is possible
+y <- "1" # this is preferred
+TRUE -> z # this works but is weird
+
+# LOOPS
+# We've got for loops
+for (i in 1:4) {
+ print(i)
+}
+# We've got while loops
+a <- 10
+while (a > 4) {
+ cat(a, "...", sep = "")
+ a <- a - 1
+}
+# Keep in mind that for and while loops run slowly in R
+# Operations on entire vectors (i.e. a whole row, a whole column)
+# or apply()-type functions (we'll discuss later) are preferred
+
+# IF/ELSE
+# Again, pretty standard
+if (4 > 3) {
+ print("4 is greater than 3")
+} else {
+ print("4 is not greater than 3")
+}
+# =>
+# [1] "4 is greater than 3"
+
+# FUNCTIONS
+# Defined like so:
+jiggle <- function(x) {
+ x = x + rnorm(1, sd=.1) #add in a bit of (controlled) noise
+ return(x)
+}
+# Called like any other R function:
+jiggle(5) # 5±ε. After set.seed(2716057), jiggle(5)==5.005043

+
+# ONE-DIMENSIONAL
+
+# Let's start from the very beginning, and with something you already know: vectors.
+vec <- c(8, 9, 10, 11)
+vec # 8 9 10 11
+# We ask for specific elements by subsetting with square brackets
+# (Note that R starts counting from 1)
+vec[1] # 8
+letters[18] # "r"
+LETTERS[13] # "M"
+month.name[9] # "September"
+c(6, 8, 7, 5, 3, 0, 9)[3] # 7
+# We can also search for the indices of specific components,
+which(vec %% 2 == 0) # 1 3
+# grab just the first or last few entries in the vector,
+head(vec, 1) # 8
+tail(vec, 2) # 10 11
+# or figure out if a certain value is in the vector
+any(vec == 10) # TRUE
+# If an index "goes over" you'll get NA:
+vec[6] # NA
+# You can find the length of your vector with length()
+length(vec) # 4
+# You can perform operations on entire vectors or subsets of vectors
+vec * 4 # 16 20 24 28
+vec[2:3] * 5 # 25 30

+mat
+# =>
+# [,1] [,2]
+# [1,] 1 4

+# Perform operation on the first column
+3 * mat[,1] # 3 6 9

+
+# Transpose the whole matrix
+t(mat)
+# =>
+# [,1] [,2] [,3]
+# [1,] 1 2 3
+# [2,] 4 5 6
+
+# Matrix multiplication
+mat %*% t(mat)
+# =>
+# [,1] [,2] [,3]
+# [1,] 17 22 27
+# [2,] 22 29 36
+# [3,] 27 36 45

+# Again, note what happened!
