Notebook Activity – [due before class starts]:

  • Clone and / or run Week 3 Jupyter Notebook
    • Note: I was having trouble with the class DHUM72500 repository, so this one is saved on my personal account until I can figure out what is wrong. 
    • To use this notebook, make sure that you copy to your local computer all the files in a .zip file. That way you’ll get the images as well as the notebook itself.
