Guide to Programming and Algorithms Using R, Paperback / softback Book

Guide to Programming and Algorithms Using R Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This easy-to-follow textbook provides a student-friendly introduction to programming and algorithms.

Emphasis is placed on the threshold concepts that present barriers to learning, including the questions that students are often too embarrassed to ask.

The book promotes an active learning style in which a deeper understanding is gained from evaluating, questioning, and discussing the material, and practised in hands-on exercises.

Although R is used as the language of choice for all programs, strict assumptions are avoided in the explanations in order for these to remain applicable to other programming languages.

Features: provides exercises at the end of each chapter; includes three mini projects in the final chapter; presents a list of titles for further reading at the end of the book; discusses the key aspects of loops, recursions, program and algorithm efficiency and accuracy, sorting, linear systems of equations, and file processing; requires no prior background knowledge in this area.
