Some places to start apply() sweep() and any of the good introductory guides to R available online.
For finding R material, it's vastly easier to use the custom search engine at www.rseek.org than to wander aimlessly around google trying to find things with "R" in them. We'd be happy to give more specific answers if you need them, especially if you do as the posting guide asks and provide a reproducible example. (Not that you need one for this question, since you did ask just for references.)
