[Quantian-general] R & Octave

[CalcPage at aol.com]

Thanx, Robert, for your insights regarding R.  I was interested in R  as its 
already on my cluster (I hd-installed QUANTIAN in my AP Comupter Science  
classroom) and I may be teaching AP Stats in the near future.  Also, I  thought I 
could play with it with my Calc/Physics Computer Lab to do some data  analysis 
and regressions.
 
Thanx for the suggestions regarding computer algebra systems, but we  already 
do that with the TI-89 in a normal math class setting (not the new  computer 
lab setting I'm planning to add next year).
 
What I need for Octave and R is a textbook or tutorial that I could teach  
myself with and then use in class to teach my students.  So links like 
_http://courses.statistics.com/software/help.php_ 
(http://courses.statistics.com/software/help.php)   are very helpful, thanx!  
 
Many of my students go on to high powered tech schools and the ivy  league.  
I thought that expossure to these sorts of apps would be  beneficial.
 
Thanx for your help,
AJG
