The R language
R is a free software programming language and software environment for statistical computing and graphics. The R language is widely used among statisticians, and virtually all fields of applied mathematics, including epidemiology, for developing statistical software and data analysis. R's popularity has increased substantially in recent years. To download R, visit the Comprehensive R Archive Network.

RStudio
RStudio is  an integrated development environment for R. That is, a user interface for R. RStudio makes certain tasks easier that may otherwise be daunting for new R users, such as finding and installing additional R packages, viewing active objects and previously used commands, and exporting plots. To download RStudio, visit the RStudio website.
