R is a statistical analyzation language, and that means it is very good at data manipulation and data analyzation. One key way to analyze data is through plotting, and R excels in this field.

\[ y' = f(x,y), \qquad y(x_0 ) = y_0 . \]

Installation

Welcome to the R tutorial! We will start by showing you how to download the program, and the recommended interface for computing with R, Rstudio. R is an incredibly powerful software, with a slight focus on statistical computing. We will show to you how you can use R for approaching differential equations!
