35007 Real Analysis


Installation of R for the Computer Laboratory


  1. Go to the Comprehensive R Archive Network
  2. If your laptop is
      using a Windows operating system then click on the link Download R for Windows.
      using a Macintosh (Mac) operating system then click on the link Download R for macOS.
      using a Linux operating system then click on the link Download R for Linux.
  3. Follow the instructions given there to install R on your laptop.
  4. In the case of Windows and Macintosh (Mac) operating systems you should now have an icon
    for the R computing environment application.
  5. To test that the installation was successful open the R computing environment application.
    At the command line prompt type 6*7 and hit return or enter and see if you get [1] 42 as the output.
    Then type plot(runif(1000),runif(1000)) to, ideally, get a plot of 1000 random points in the unit square.
  6. If all of the above worked out, then you and your laptop are ready for the 35007 Real Analysis Computer Laboratory!


If you experience any problems with the above then the lecturer will try his best to help you, ideally in person at a class meeting,
but possibly via e-mail. His address is matt.wand@uts.edu.au.
