In hand now,
Statistics With R, A Beginner's Guide, by Robert Stinerock 2018.
Book is so so, general overview of statistics, more statistics appreciation. Not like math text book, laying things our rigorously and proving all assertions. I guess this is how Busness students do things.
Geometric Mean, as opposed to ordinary Mean, Permutations and Combinations, Bayes Thm, Binomial Thm, and Regression. Worth understanding and using, but not that difficult.
As far as R itself, not that much info about how to program it.
Wants us to download from
www.r-project.org/
and also rstudio
www.rstudio.com/
Interesting, author said he considered writing his book around Excel.
Is there an open source Linux alternative to Excel? Spread sheets are useful.
Decades ago you could by source code for libraries which would link from C code to Excel file format.
But now I think they have got it so you can use Dynamic Linking to write directly into Excel.
Explains here:

So next R books to get:
