Upload benefit-cost analysis exercise in knitr

[dkillian]

Hi -
I've been pursuing a Master's degree in Applied Economics at Johns Hopkins University while also going through the Johns Hopkins / Coursera Data Science Specialization. I was very pleased to get to a level of proficiency in R that I was able to not only complete a short exercise using base plotting and some simple calculus using the mosaic package, but was also able to directly submit my work in R as a Word document and html file using knitr.

After many hours of work and frustration, and even going through moments where I thought I was simply unable to gain proficiency in R as a user, much less a programmer, I was really happy to reach a point of finding practical benefit from the JHU data science courses. I thought it might benefit others going through the Data Science Specialization to begin to see the practical uses of R and how the Data Science Specialization can help people use R.
