Document Summary

Programming is great because it allows you to automate tasks on the computer, thereby allowing you to get them done quickly. Programming is algorithmic; if you like math, you will like programming. My hope in this course is to teach you how to write programs quickly and robustly. It is not an easy skill to learn, but once acquired you will take great joy in it. Markdown is a way to format text easily: choose in menu: cell -> cell type to toggle markdown or code (shortcuts: m and y) Double click this cell to see the code for it. Emphasizing words (notice how we used a double hash to make a subtitle) Math can also be included using latex, e. g. ei = 1. 3 = 3 2 x x d dx. Math 9 - lecture 2 - variables, types, and functions. # this is how you assign a number (value) to a variable (name) x .
