       The Book of R, by Tilman M. Davies

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       So this is a very large book.
       The Book of R, by Tilman M. Davies  ( 2016 No Starch Press )
  HTML https://www.amazon.com/Book-First-Course-Programming-Statistics/dp/1593276516/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547944745&sr=8-1&keywords=The+Book+of+R%2C+by+Tilman+M.+Davies
       So this though deals a great deal with statistics, instructing
       us about statistics, as opposed to laying out the critical
       computer issues.  These later are more of my current interest.
       They recommend their other book:
       The Art of R Programming: A Tour of Statistical Software Design,
       by Norman Matloff
  HTML https://www.amazon.com/Art-Programming-Statistical-Software-Design/dp/1593273843/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547944950&sr=8-1&keywords=art+of+r+programming
       And then what I think really will give me what I want:
       R Packages: Organize, Test, Document, and Share Your Code, by
       Hadley Wickham
  HTML https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1491910593/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i3
       So let me try and record some of the more important stuff in the
       Tilman Davies book.
       Official Site, should have good online documentation
  HTML https://www.r-project.org/
       CRAN
       Comprehensive R Archive Network
       R has its own GUI, with two windows nominally, Console and
       Editor.
       Package used in the book, 'MASS'
       book about it from S
       Modern applied statistics with S / W.N. Venables, B.D. Ripley.
       (2002)
       so  you can install, update, or remove packages.
       You can also get help, ?? or ? about something.
       There are third party editors, but the most well liked is
       Rstudio
  HTML https://www.rstudio.com/
       And there is Rmarkdown, making your work repeatable.
       a (dot)Rdata file holds everything from your R session.
       You can type stuff into R, using it as a calculator.
       Works well with directory trees and paths, and you can view
       this.
       Vectors are important, as we have seen in APL ( Array Processing
       Language )
       Matrices are two dimensional. Arrays can be 3, not sure if it
       can be more.  But still seems to fall far short of a deeply
       object oriented language.
       So you can do all sorts of matrix operations, including the
       inverse, as 'solve'
       Matrix computations / Gene H. Golub, Charles F. Van Loan (2013)
       looks really really good.  Davies though is referencing an
       earlier edition.
       But still need more than this.
       Non-Numeric Values:
       TRUE and FALSE, logical comparisons, strings and characters,
       concatenations.

       "Matrices are two dimensional. Arrays can be 3, not sure if it
       can be more.  But still seems to fall far short of a deeply
       object oriented language."
       Arrays can be as many dimensions as you like. Only constraint is
       memory.
