Will Durham
Hello everyone, many of you may already know me, but for those of you who don't I'll provide a brief introduction. I am a Mathematical Economics major at Gettysburg College with minors in Music and Mathematics. I took this course with Peter over the summer and enthusiastically volunteered to help him with this winter session. You can reach me through GroupMe with any questions. I look forward to working with you!

I let Peter choose this photo for me just FYI. A brief summary of me: I am a Computer Science and Mathematics major with a minor in Physics. I've been working closely with Peter in Physics until the start of our junior year when we both decided to switch to a math major, and so now I am here helping out! Feel free to contact me through GroupMe, I'll be more than happy to help.

HELLOOOOOOO! I am excited because I know many of you and I am excited to talk to those I don’t know. This summer, I joined Peter’s Python for the friends, and stayed for the programming fun. To my surprise, he invited me to PLA his course, though I still am not sure if I know what I am doing. I am hypothetically a junior studying political science and public policy, but I took a gap semester to campaign and now that has turned in to a gap year. So, that’s been an adventure. Please message me or text me or call me if you have questions and we can figure it out together!
Welcome to an Introduction to Python!
I am very excited to share my love of python with you. While this course will not give you any school credit, I believe that you will enjoy yourselves as well as gain valuable skills. We will start with the basics and then move toward more complicated topics, including some basic data structures and advanced algorithms!
Learning a programming language is very rewarding: it will open your mind to an entirely new set of problems and tasks that you are able to solve and complete. That being said, you will get out of this course exactly what you put into it. We will have no quizzes or exams, so the pressure to move forward and learn must come from you!
