Assignment for EES 3310/5310 Lab #1

The file Lab_01_Activities.Rmd is a template for the exercises in Lab #1 to use RMarkdown to do the following exercises from Chapter 2 in the textbook Global Warming: Understanding the Forecast.

The lab is due at 9:00 AM on Monday, Sept. 3.

The file contains exercises 2.1--2.7.

The answers to exercise 2.1 are given as an example of how to include answers in RMarkdown.

• Graduate students should answer all of the exercises.
• Undergraduates should answer exercises 2.2, 2.4, 2.5, and 2.7.

Instructions:

• Clone a local copy of the file repository from github.

• In your local repository, answer the exercises in the template Lab_01_Activities.Rmd.

• When you are done, knit your .Rmd file into a PDF file.

• Use git to commit your changes (including the edits to Lab_01_Activities.Rmd and the new PDF file) to your local git repository.

• Push the changes from your local git repository to github.

  The last changes that you push before the due date (Monday Sept. 3 at 9:00 am) will be graded.

I advise using git to commit changes frequently as you work and push those commits to github.
