Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: An excellent book. Or rather 3 books in 1 representing - An excellent book. Or rather 3 books in 1 representing: Programming in R, Statistics in R and Graphics in R and therefore excellent value. Unlike some other R books, lots of exercises to practice on. Programming is about practice, practice, practice. I'm an experienced programmer (other languages) and worked through Sections 1 and 2 in about a week of full time work. Obviously I will need a more advanced book at some point but this covered the basics admirably. Review: Recommended book on R - Excellent book as an introductory text for learning R - I'm much a newbie and have starting developing in R with more confidence. The sections on matrices is fantastic! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1593276516 | | Best Sellers Rank | 159,193 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 102 in Programming Languages & Tools 172 in Computer Information Systems 178 in Introduction to Programming | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (425) | | Dimensions | 17.93 x 4.29 x 23.65 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 9781593276515 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1593276515 | | Item weight | 1.3 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 832 pages | | Publication date | 23 July 2016 | | Publisher | No Starch Press | ## Images ![The Book of R: A First Course in Programming and Statistics - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71s-2K85mxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent book.

The sections on matrices is fantastic! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good first step *by L***6 on 17 January 2020* Bought this to help me progress from VBA in excel to some *proper* data skillz. It's a good book. The sections about ellipses could be clearer, but for general principles and guidance, it's been very good. I'm actually still working through the later part of the book, but if you want something to get you up and running, this is a good choice. The first half has (so far) been enough to teach me what I needed. The second half, when I finish it, should be icing on the cake. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Book of R: A First Course in Programming and Statistics - R for Data Science: Import, Tidy, Transform, Visualize, and Model Data - The Art of R Programming: A Tour of Statistical Software Design --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/158251906-the-book-of-r-a-first-course-in-programming-statistics](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/158251906-the-book-of-r-a-first-course-in-programming-statistics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
