written by the staff. The notes will be available as a PDF file for

Laptops
We will be using the Homework Tutor to do on-line programming
exercises during the first two weeks of 6.01. You are welcome to use
your own laptop for these exercises. Please bring your laptops to
34-501. Otherwise, you can use one of our laptops or desktops.
Python Tutorial
6.01 makes use of programming both as a tool and as a way to express
and explore important ideas. During the first two weeks of the class
we will be trying to make sure that everyone reaches at least a
minimum level of familiarity with Python programming.
We have prepared an on-line tutorial as a resource to help you become
comfortable with programming in Python, especially if you have had
little previous programming experience.
You will not be graded on this tutorial. Working through the
tutorial is not required, but it is highly recommended if you feel
unsure about your ability to program.
