The R Series
Introduction to Scientific Programming and Simulation Using R, Second Edition (Chapman & Hall/CRC The R Series) 2nd edition by Jones, Owen, Maillardet, Robert, Robinson, Andrew (2014) Hardcover
An introductory text, this book surveys a range of useful mathematical tools that either require or are illuminated by scientific computation. The focus is on the use of R, an open-source programming environment. Input and output, functions, data structures, and flow programming are covered, as are numerical techniques, probability, simulation, and stochastic modeling. Where appropriate, formal derivations are provided. The text is supplemented with simple yet relevant examples that allow students to see how the tools can be applied to contemporary problems.

A book oriented in scientific application of R. The first part of the book is a very good introduction to R, suitable for People with R-phobia. If you ever go through the first part, R will not be the big mystery any more.

Pages after 573 missing on the Kindle edition
I have just purchased the Kindle edition of this book and find that all pages after 573 are missing which would include Programmes and functions developed in the text and the index to the book. I cannot find an email address to contact the publisher direct. Very disappointed.
