[Im- port- ance] 2 [Language] R [Description] 
R is widely used in statistics and machine learning. Functionally, it is mostly a subset of Python. There are a lot of toolboxes that implement algorithms that we use for control experiments. R is also good for plotting, and it should be your first choice when making graphs and figures for papers or your thesis. Every Ph.D. student should have a basic knowledge of R and be able to use algorithms, toolboxes, and plotting functions implemented in R by others. It is generally not necessary to be fluent at writing new code in R, but if you find it convenient, it is OK to use R for your research code.
