-R is an integrated suite of software facilities for data manipulation,
-calculation and graphical display. It includes
-
-* an effective data handling and storage facility,
-
-* a suite of operators for calculations on arrays, in particular
-matrices,
-
-* a large, coherent, integrated collection of intermediate tools for
-data analysis,
-
-* graphical facilities for data analysis and display either on-screen
-or on hardcopy, and
-
-* a well-developed, simple and effective programming language which
-includes conditionals, loops, user-defined recursive functions and
-input and output facilities.
+R is a language and environment for statistical computing and
+graphics. It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and
+environment which was developed at Bell Laboratories (formerly AT&T,
+now Lucent Technologies) by John Chambers and colleagues. R can be
+considered as a different implementation of S. There are some
+important differences, but much code written for S runs unaltered
+under R.
