Hi Ryan,
What a co-incidence! I've just done a demo for my fellow club members, who
are, generally, non-statisticians! What I had done is to show them a PowerPoint
demonstration, with some R-history, what it is capable of, why we should use it,
a couple of snap shots, some students' comments, its memory management
technique...etc. After that I showed a real-time demo using R, to run a couple
of R scripts that I obtained from various places (and some of them were written
by myself). The scripts I used include the demo(graphics), however with some
little re-arrangements.
The entire slides can be obtained from
http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~kwan022/pub/SDK/SAD/FirstMeeting/, along with
all the scripts I used!
Hope this helps you in some degree,
Cheers,
Ko-Kang Wang
