When: Today, June 24, 1 p.m.
Where: Science 108
What: Fourth Meeting of ARG (Augsburg R-users Group) focusing on loading in data of MANY different formats
Full description:
Have you ever wanted to use R/RStudio but didn't know where to start? Are you learning R/RStudio, but have hit a wall? Are you a seasoned R user and want to learn some new tricks? Do you have wisdom (about R/RStudio) to share with your colleagues?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, than ARG (Augsburg R-user Group) is for you! ARG will be meeting Today Wednesday, June 24, in Science 108. This time we will be exploring how to load in data, which is a crucial step! We will discuss the foreign package which allows you to import SAS, stata, SPSS, minitab, and other kinds of data formats, as well as how to import Excel spreadsheets! You will be a data importing aficionado in under an hour! Bring your laptop, your friendly spirit, and your eagerness to learn and share with this new community of R users at Augsburg.
Newcomers are always welcome! Be sure to bring your laptop! If you are new to R and RStudio, you can download R to your computer (for free) from this website: http://cran.r-project.org/ and you can download RStudio (still free) from this website: http://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/

New Physics Faculty Keep Busy
Mary Lanzerotti in the Physics Department just returned from Rome, Italy, in June 2015 as a Visiting Professor in the Department of Engineering at University of Rome Tre to explore potential cooperation on complex circuitry designs for network systems in morphing structures with multi-scale intelligence by mimicking nature.
She also attended the American Society of Engineering Education Annual Meeting in Seattle, Washington, in June 2015 to present a paper describing increasing student and faculty participation and student learning in an undergraduate STEM summer research program in a government institution through a higher education partnership.
Mary Lanzerotti also attended the National Aeronautics and Electronics Conference in Dayton, Ohio, in June 2015 to present phase measurement approaches for a multi-tier weak radio signal detection process with N simultaneous signals having continuous phase. She also co-authored a second paper on topological constraints of gate-level circuits obtained through standard cell recognition and co-chaired two sessions on Trust in Microelectronics.
