Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Any suggestions on where I can learn R studio for an affordable cost?
https://r4ds.hadley.nz is free and very good
-
Help with Understanding data loading/cleaning in R.
R for Data Science teaches you the tidyverse packages, which makes data wrangling so much easier!
-
Learning R & statistics
One of the best free resources is the R4DS book by Hadley Wickham. You should make sure you start with the in progress second edition. https://r4ds.hadley.nz/

[Career] Strong Mathematics Background, Limited "Technical" Background
The big skills gap you have is in practical data exploration and transformation, which will be a large part of any data-centric role. As much as people may have distaste for it, there is no avoiding data manipulation as critical foundational enabler of all inferential and predictive modeling work. SQL is the lingua franca here and well worth picking up the basics (joins, window functions, handling dates and times, etc.), plus learning how to implement similar transformations in R and Python. With appropriately transformed data, you then need to be able to visualize it effectively using tools like Tableau or ggplot2 in R. I would not necessarily seek courses or certificates in it but expect to be evaluated on them in technical interview screenings, so self-study accordingly. R for Data Science by Hadley Wickham is a great free resource for these topics for R.

There’s a lot of data science books out there, any recommendations for must-reads?
I just looked and there is now a second edition! https://r4ds.hadley.nz/

How many of you have used algebra, calculus, geometry, etc in your business careers/the real world?
This is a good intro to probabilistic programming.

A collaborative book on DeFi
All content is open-source: everyone is free to read, but also to contribute to the book using github. I know of one other book that followed this open-source 'publishing' model and became quite successful eventually through community efforts. I contemplated for a bit to create a book DAO but I think it's going to be overkill :).

Jake Vanderplas's Statistics for Hackers presentation is a perfect place to start. Bayesian Methods for Hackers is also very good.
