Chapter Chapter 2 in Oceanographic Analysis with R, 2018, pp 5-90 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract R comes with an excellent tutorial that, like many fine tutorials, tends to be ignored by people with little patience for material presented in a general manner. This is why the present chapter uses oceanographic examples to explain R concepts, and why code makes up so much of the text. The early examples are designed to encourage readers to become comfortable whilst navigating the R documentation, because this skill can be the key to moving from simple examples to real-world applications. The main concepts of R data types and language features are illustrated here in practical terms, with many of the explanations involving graphical representation. Since experienced R users are unlikely to study this chapter in great depth, specialized methods of oceanographic analysis are mainly deferred to succeeding chapters.
