R is a functional programming environment for business analysts and data scientists. It's a language that many non-programmers can easily work with, naturally extending a skill set that is common to high-end Excel users. It's the perfect tool for when the analyst has a statistical, numerical, or probabilities-based problem based on real data, and they've pushed Excel past its limits. In this course, you will work in a hands-on environment, learning R and its ecosystem, and where it’s a better a tool than Excel.
