Calendar/Handouts
The calendar below will be populated throughout the semester with links to labs, quizzes, and lecture/tutorial handouts.
We'll be using Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb files) to distribute some of the content and code
from tutorials and lectures. If you'd like to run these interactively
on your machine, please see the Jupyter installation guide.
We recommend following the instructions that use pip3.
