    1.1 Why Program

    Explore the nature of programming and how programming a computer is different than using a computer.

    1.3 Python as a Language

    We look at how writing programs is just another form of communication. Instead of communicating with another person, we are communicating our ideas to a computer.

    2.1 Building Blocks of Python

    We look at Python's reserved words, how we name and use variables, why we choose meaningful (mnemonic) variable names and how assignment statements function.

    2.2 Expressions

    We look at how we use various numerical and string operations to compute new information and store the new values in variables.

    3.1 If-Then-Else

    The most basic conditional structure is the if statement where we either execute or skip a segment of code based on the results of a logical expression (i.e. asking a question).

    3.2 More Conditional Statements

    In this lecture we look at multi-branch if statements and the try-except concept where we can indicate a group of statements to be executed if something goes wrong with a block of statements.
