1. R Workshop for Beginners
Date &Time: February 12, 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Location: Fogler Library Classroom 1
Fogler Library will host a workshop on R, a widely used language and environment for managing, graphing, and analyzing data of all forms (e.g., spatial, quantitative, and qualitative). This introductory workshop is presented in collaboration with UMaine’s Advanced Computing Group.
We recommend bringing fully charged laptops, with R and RStudio already installed. Laptops will be available for attendees who need to borrow one. If you would prefer to attend via Adobe Connect instead, email acg@maine.edu for connection information.
