[R] how to do calculations in data matrices?

[Sarah Goslee]

Some places to start
apply()
sweep()
and any of the good introductory guides to R available online.

For finding R material, it's vastly easier to use the custom search engine
at www.rseek.org than to wander aimlessly around google trying to
find things with "R" in them.

We'd be happy to give more specific answers if you need them,
especially if you do as the posting guide asks and provide
a reproducible example. (Not that you need one for this question,
since you did ask just for references.)
