Unit 0: Introduction to Google Colab Notebooks & Numerical Calculus

Welcome and thank you for participating in The Cosmology Quick-Start Guide! Before we get started learning about cosmology, we should review a few tools that will help us. Many of the calculations performed in physics and cosmology involve calculus. To perform many of the calculations, we will need to code up some ways to calculate them. We will use the Python computer language in this course in Google Colaboratory notebooks to make sure our computing environments are the same. It is recommended that you go through these pages in order. Click on the buttons below to get started!
