Essentials of the R Language
There is an enormous range of things that R can do, and one of the hardest parts of learning R is finding your way around. I suggest that you start by looking down all the chapter names at the front of this book (p. v) to get an overall idea of where the material you want might be found. The Index for this book has the names of R functions in bold. The dataframes used in the book are listed by name, and also under ‘dataframes’.
Alternatively, if you know the name of the function you are interested in, then you can go directly to R's help by typing the exact name of the function after a question mark on the command line (p. 2).
