Python can work a lot like a desktop calculator! A lot of mathematical expressions one is used to from maths classes are the same or very similar in Python. Functional notation is also introduced.

Time estimation: 1 hour

Learning objectives:

• Understand the fundamentals of object assignment and math in python and can write simple statements and execute calcualtions in order to be able to summarize the results of calculations and classify valid and invalid statements.
• Translate some known math functions (e.g. euclidean distance, root algorithm) into python to transfer concepts from mathematics lessons directly into Python.
• Understand the structure of a "function" in order to be able to construct their own functions and predict which functions will not work.
