A First Course in Statistical Programming with R
1st edn
(Cambridge University Press, 2016)
SCI 247
This is the only introduction you’ll need to start programming in R, the open-source language that is free to download, and lets you adapt the source code for your own requirements. Co-written by one of the R Core Development Team, and by an established R author, this book comes with real R code that complies with the standards of the language. Unlike other introductory books on the ground-breaking R system, this book emphasizes programming, including the principles that apply to most computing languages, and techniques used to develop more complex projects. Learning the language is made easier by the frequent exercises and end-of-chapter reviews that help you progress confidently through the book. Solutions, datasets and any errata will be available from the book’s web site. The many examples, all from real applications, make it particularly useful for anyone working in practical data analysis.

Author
W. John Braun is a professor of Statistics at the University of British Columbia (Okanagan). After completing his PhD in Statistics at the University of Western Ontario, he held positions at a number of universities, including Western for 14 years where he attained the rank of Full Professor and was Chair of the Statistics Graduate Program for 5 years. In 2014, he became Head of Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics and Statistics at UBC’s Okanagan campus. The following year he became Deputy Director of the Canadian Statistical Sciences Institute (CANSSI).
His research in statistics has often been motivated by scientific problems, coming from psychology, biology, medicine, engineering and physics. His methodological research is concerned with smoothing and inference techniques as they apply to data visualization and process monitoring.
Duncan J. Murdoch is a professor emeritus and was a member of the R Core Team of developers and co-president of the R Foundation. He is one of the developers of the rgl package for 3D visualization in R, and has also developed numerous other R packages.

UBC Okanagan Classroom Artwork Project
The University of British Columbia Okanagan Classroom Artwork Project aims to display academically inspiring artwork in classrooms and other teaching areas of the university.
Artwork displayed as part of this project – including the covers of books and journals containing work written or edited by UBCO scholars and researchers – is intended to help enliven university teaching spaces, educate classroom users about the connections between research and teaching, and introduce members of the broader public to some of the research and scholarship carried out at UBCO.
How to Submit Artwork
If you know of other book or journal covers, or other academically inspiring artwork that is connected to work carried out by UBCO artists, scholars or researchers and that is consistent with UBCO’s educational mission, please email your suggestions to classroom.artwork@ubc.ca.
The UBC Okanagan Classroom Artwork Project began in 2019 with support from the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences. It is now a joint project of UBCO’s Faculties and the Office of the Provost.
Artwork and other images that are a part of this project are displayed solely for educational purposes.
