Calendar/Handouts

The calendar below will be populated throughout the semester with links to labs, quizzes, and lecture/recitation handouts.

We'll be using Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb files) to distribute some of the content and code from recitations and lectures. If you would like to run these interactively on your machine, please see the Jupyter installation guide (we recommend following the instructions that use pip3 if you do decide to install Jupyter).
