I keep meaning to get started with R. Can anyone point me towards a decent primer for a mathematically-literate-to-undergrad level audience? (Not that I did a Maths degree, y'see ... :-))
That said, I ultimately never fell in love with R so perhaps my experience is a bad example (though I would argue there are lots of legitimate reasons not to fall in love with R)

You'll learn, though, that R is not the prettiest language, and sometimes requires annoying mucking about to get stuff working.
