Before you can begin the tasks enumerated below, you'll need Python. The computers in 292 should have Python installed. Specifically, they should have the Python collection Anaconda installed. I encourage you to download and install that on your own personal computer too. If you do so, make sure you download the Python 2.7 version.
How will you interface with Python? A couple options. One is to use Spyder. The other is using Jupyter Notebook. Note that both are packaged with the Anaconda installation. So you don't need to download and install these programs separately.
You may have questions or run into problems. If you're unsure about how to get started, just let me know (in particular, running the Jupyter notebooks (those *.ipynb files) can be kind of tricky -- though the documentation is here -- so just come by my office and I can walk you through it).
Note that you don't have to do these tasks in the order listed.
You only need to turn in what is indicated in the instructions for item #3.
Oh no!!! Your code isn't working. Look here:
