Problem Set 0: Computing environment

Due: 5pm on Friday, January 10.

This problem set is a Quarto document, which embeds code, results, and written work. You will edit it and then create a PDF. If you are new to Quarto, see the Quarto tutorial for additional information.

To complete the problem set, download pset0.qmd. Add these four lines of code to the top if they do not appear in your download,

and render to a PDF. You will then submit two things:

  1. Upload the rendered PDF to BruinLearn
  2. In our Google Form, tell us your anonymous identifier that appears in your rendered PDF.

Help with getting started

If you are stuck, make sure that you first follow the installation instructions in setting up your computer.

Open the downloaded problem set in RStudio. You should then click the “Render” button as shown in the image below.

This will run the R code and combine the output with the text in the document into a PDF. By default, this PDF will be output in the same directory that you saved pset0.qmd in. You will then submit the PDF on Canvas.

Issues

If you run into issues while attempting to render the Problem Set, be sure to open a question on Piazza!
