Math 480 - Class 4

Collect questions from the class to answer later.
Go over homework 2 solutions.
This took most of the class, since I used it as an introduction to lists (next bullet).
Quick tour of list ideas ( docs.python.org/3/tutorial/introduction.html#lists)
- indexing
- appending
- slicing (returns a copy)
- looping
- list comprehension - first part of www.secnetix.de/olli/Python/list_comprehensions.hawk
I covered (so to speak) everything here except list comprehension. That will have to wait for the right time.
Read eratosthenes.py for list practice. Note scope.
All I got to was the pseudocode for the sieve, which was new to most of the class.
Assign homework 3.
I didn't, yet.
