You've seen formulas before when using `facet_wrap()` and `facet_grid()`. In R, formulas provide a general way of getting "special behaviour". Rather than evaluating the values of the variables right away, they capture them so they can be interpreted by the function. You've seen formulas before when using `facet_wrap()` and `facet_grid()`.

The majority of modelling functions in R use a standard conversion from formulas to functions. You've seen one simple conversion already: `y ~ x` is translated to `y = a_1 + a_2 * x`. If you want to see what R actually does, you can use the `model_matrix()` function. It takes a data frame and a formula and returns a tibble that defines the model equation: each column in the output is associated with one coefficient in the model, the function is always `y = a_1 * out1 + a_2 * out_2`. For the simplest case of `y ~ x1` this shows us something interesting: The majority of modelling functions in R use a standard conversion from formulas to functions.
