+  step-by-step tutorial through the basics of the language
+
+* [Project Euler](https://projecteuler.net/):
+  a set of increasingly complex programming tasks to try out with
+  python

+# Introduction
+
+This class will introduce the basics of the python programming
+language and the libraries used for scientific computing.
+
+```{tip}
+To get the most from this class, you should work on your own laptop.  That
+way you practice using python and the scientific libraries on the in the
+environment you are most comfortable with.
+```
+
+## Getting python
+
+You will want to install python and the associated libraries on your
+laptop that you can bring to the seminar.
+
+On Linux machines, you probably already have python and you can get
+the needed libraries through your system package manager.
+
+For Mac and Windows, I recommend the free Anaconda distribution:
+
+https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual
+
+This will install everything that you need.
+
+```{tip}
+If you have trouble getting a local install working, most of the class
+material will work automatically in the cloud, either on
+[binder](https://mybinder.org/) or [google
+colab](https://research.google.com/colaboratory/).
+```
+
+If you have python successfully installed, you should be able to start
+the python interpreter at the command line as: `python`.  A shell will
+come up, and you can try out your first program:
+
+```
+print("hello, world")
+```

+# Miscellaneous
+
+There are a lot of topics that we didn't cover, as well as a lot of
+the python standard library that we won't address.  Here we introduce
+a few more concepts.
