Python Fundamentals#
In this section, we begin with the basics.
We will talk about what a programming language is and how computers use them to perform operations.
We discuss why we chose the Python language for this course.
We learn about core concepts like variables, data-types, and functions.
We will become familiar with the core data-types built into Python, some standard functions we will frequently use, and learn how to define our own functions.
By the end, you should have a solid grasp on core Python concepts, be prepared to study the next sections on numerical programming, and feel comfortable handling data.
