Description
This course is intended for people who start doing scientific computing with R, particularly on HPC clusters, but not limited to those. You do not need to have any prior programming experience. We will provide you with an online environment to write and run your R code. If you have an R development environment set up, you can use that instead, but please make sure it is running ahead of the course.
The course will be held over two consecutive half-days, see the eCampus description for details.
