Students learn programming language R with the corresponding environment. Using the language they learn basics of statistical data analysis and visualization.

Knowledge and understanding: Student learns programming package R designed primarily for statistical data analysis and visualization. Student upgrades her/his knowledge of basic programming techniques and learns some special features of language R.
Application: Builiding of user's libraries, preparation od charts, simple data analysis.
Reflection: The importance of modern information technology in analysis of large amounts of data, the importance of visualization in data exploration and presentation of results.
Transferable skills: Working with a computer, algorithmic way of thinking.
