Yihui Xie is the creator of several popular R packages, including knitr, animation and cranvas. In an interview with The Setup, he shares some of the software and hardware he uses in his data-to-day work, including (of course) R: For programming and data analysis, I primarily use R since I'm a statistician. I have created a bunch of R packages including animation, knitr, formatR, Rd2roxygen, R2SWF, fun and cranvas, etc. I use other R packages like ggplot2, gWidgets, roxygen2, Shiny and XML. Emacs was my editor before I switched to RStudio; for small tasks, I just use the default editor...

Back when Mathematica 8 was released I tried to work out how many MATLAB toolboxes you’d need to buy to have the same functionality and came up with 9 toolboxes. Readers of WalkingRandomly suggested several more in the comments. Now that Mathematica 9 has been released, I thought I’d work through the exercise again. So [...]

This looks useful! The partial differential equations (PDEs) we solve in my lab are the equations of motion for atoms in molecular dynamics. These are relatively easy to integrate numerically. Lots of labs work with harder PDE problems (like … Continue reading →
