- Current Topics in Information Technology: Summer '92
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Homewood Academic Computing of the Johns Hopkins University, in cooperation
- with the JHU Whiting School of Engineering, offers each semester a series of
- non-credit courses focusing on current topics in computing. These courses are
- designed specifically for information technology professionals who need to keep
- abreast of the latest applications and techniques in their field. They
- are available to Hopkins personnel under the University's tuition-remission
- program.
-
- The subject of the final course in our series this summer is the multi-
- functional statistical programming environment known as S. Continuing
- Education Units may be awarded upon completion.
-
- This course is hands-on, and space is very limited. A registration form for
- the course is attached. For assistance, please contact Rodney Baker in
- Homewood Academic Computing at 516-8728 (FAX 516-5508). For information about
- other HAC courses, please call Lee Watkins, HAC Assistant Director, 516-8096.

- The S Statistical Programming Environment
- Paul M. Wright
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Indigo Workstation Lab, Krieger Hall 172-A
-
- This course presents data analysis and graphics using the new S language from
- Bell Labs, a powerful interactive programming environment for UNIX systems.
- Students will learn how S handles data, how to use the large collection of S
- functions to perform statistical analyses, and how to display information with
- the flexible graphics capabilities of S. Students will also learn how to expand
- S by writing S functions, as well as how to use the interface to UNIX system
- commands (one of the most useful aspects of any good UNIX tool). A working
- knowledge of statistical procedures and linear algebra operations is required
- for this course.
