Use the R language for teaching statistics

The programming language R, is not a simple language for web or desktop applications, but it is a suite that allows you to add data and manipulate them in such a way that you can obtain reliable information, statistically speaking of them. Data such as mean, median, standard deviation, kurtosis, asymmetry measurements, etc. It can become tedious, short or easy to use data manipulation such as Excel, Minitab, etc.

As a teacher, he has experiences of all kinds with information and communication technologies, which have given me the necessary experience to be able to give my students tools that will serve them in their daily work. Power Point presentations were the first to start using, but they felt it was not enough. So looking for a way to record video on my computer screen, so I started there, but still, the teaching of statistics and the probability of being very abstract. So many formulas and theorems that are difficult to prove by "normal" means were something that students came very far to understand. It was easy to use formulas like the average, and they understood them, but when making a hypergeometric distribution of a lot of data, well, they made and applied the formulas in their calculations, like the quantity that was making it so important, they only wrote it in the exam as an answer.

But one day at a conference, the speaker began to speak in Python and R as programming languages ​​for specific things for mathematics and applied sciences such as statistics. I became interested and immediately took a course of it. Being able to manipulate the data so easily, you can make the graphs of the data distributions as if nothing, you can verify that the students are sure that they are proven and that they are beginning to experience an increasingly fervent interest in this beautiful subject.

My recommendation for the student, the R study with R, is a simple and inclusive way of analyzing the data that I am sure of. "STUDY STATISTICS".
