Follow the instructions here to install the Python programming environment that we will use in this class.

Task 1 (10 points)#

Create a new Jupyter Notebook#

  • Make a new Jupyter Notebook.

Write some Python code#

  • Import the numpy package

  • Add, subtract, and multiply two numbers using the numpy package in three different code cells.

Task 2 (10 points)#

Write some markdown.#

  • In the cell below your code, add an image from Google images of somewhere inspiring along with a short caption that includes bold, italics and a link to the webpage that displays this image.

The following guide contains examples of markdown syntax.

Tip

The image should be saved in the same folder as your answers notebook.

  • Add the title of the assignment as a Heading level 1, your name as Heading level 2, and the date as Heading level 3 to your notebook.

Task 3 (5 points)#

  • Sign-up for a GitHub account and install git or GitHub Desktop by following instructions here.

  • Add your GitHub username to your notebook (e.g. next to your real name).

Task 4 (5 points)#

  • Save notebook as PDF and submit via Canvas by the deadline.

This can be a little tricky. We recommend using ctrl + p (or command + p) → Save as PDF. If you’d like to get the File → Download as → PDF via LaTeX (or PDF via HTML) working, you will need to install some other packages.

Important

Save your notebooks locally as both .ipynb and .pdf formats but only submit the pdf to Canvas.
