Today we'll introduce the course and get familiar with the course content, policies, and workflow. We will introduce Jupyter notebooks as our medium for computation. Prior to today's class you should install the Anaconda distribution of Python; instructions to do this are posted below. Prior to our next class you should read chapter 1 of CIT and do reading quiz RQ01. Each day, we'll include links to the files that we used on that day. For today, to hedge against possible internet connectivity issues, we're also including links to five videos that you should be able to download and watch offline if class is disrupted. If there are no complications, we won't need these videos at all.
Here are the videos:
