From a review of the first edition: "Modern Data Science with R… is rich with examples and is guided by a strong narrative voice. What’s more, it presents an organizing framework that makes a convincing argument that data science is a course distinct from applied statistics" (The American Statistician).Modern Data Science with R is a comprehensive data science textbook for undergraduates that incorporates statistical and computational thinking to solve real-world data problems. Rather than focus exclusively on case studies or programming syntax, this book illustrates how statistical programming in the state-of-the-art R/RStudio computing environment can be leveraged to extract meaningful information from a variety of data in the service of addressing compelling questions.The second edition is updated to reflect the growing influence of the tidyverse set of packages. All code in the book has been revised and styled to be more readable and easier to understand. New functionality from packages like sf, purrr, tidymodels, and tidytext is now integrated into the text. All chapters have been revised, and several have been split, re-organized, or re-imagined to meet the shifting landscape of best practice.

This textbook is designed for an undergraduate course in data science that emphasizes topics in both statistics and computer science.
I Part I: Introduction to Data Science. 1. Prologue: Why data science? 2. Data visualization. 3. A grammar for graphics. 4. Data wrangling on one table. 5. Data wrangling on multiple tables. 6. Tidy data. 7. Iteration. 8. Data science ethics. II. Part II: Statistics and Modeling. 9. Statistical foundations. 10. Predictive modeling. 11. Supervised learning. 12. Unsupervised learning. 13. Simulation. III Part III: Topics in Data Science. 14. Dynamic and customized data graphics. 15. Database querying using SQL. 16. Database administration. 17. Working with spatial data. 18.Geospatial computations. 19. Text as data. 20. Network science. IV Part IV: Appendices.

"This text continues to be fantastic! There are a number of courses for which I would require this book and others that I would recommend it as a supplement. I would likely require it for courses focused on computing in R or courses in data science. I would include it as a recommended text in introductory and other statistics courses that used R as the software of choice, where this text could be used as a supplemental resource in how to use R to work with data." (Hunter Glanz Cal Poly San Luis Obispo)"Easy for students to read and relate to the exercises and examples. Many questions and hands-on activities with data sets to practice skills." (Lynn Collen, St. Cloud Stat Univ.)"I used the first edition of this book as the primary text for an intermediate data science course a few years ago and I liked it very much…I think that the technical breadth, writing style, and level of difficulty are very clear strengths. Also, my students and I found the `tidyverse` approach to be particularly well-suited for teaching and learning R…and I love that the MDSR book includes such complete code. Students can program everything they see in the book, and often times there are tips & tricks for them to discover along the way just by studying expert code provided by the authors. This really sets MDSR apart from other books I considered for the course." (Matthew Beckman, Penn State University)
