- Sign up for the online zyBook textbook if you haven't already
done so.  Instructions are on the class webpage.

 - Read zyBook sections 1.1 through 1.4.  Complete all 
participation exercises for these sections.  You do not need
to complete the challenge exercises.

Note that some of the content, may not have been covered in class yet.  
This is intentional --- I will assign zyBook sections often where you 
will read the text ahead of time to familiarize yourself with content 
for the next class.  In these situations you are still expected to 
complete the participation exercises to show you have done the reading.

- Recommended, but not required: Read sections 1.6 through 1.10. This
content will not be covered in class, but may be beneficial for 
understanding programming/computers a bit better.

- Download Python to your own computer.  This will give you
IDLE, the Python interpreter, and the ability to write and run
your own Python programs on your computer.  There are download
links on the class webpage.

Once you have downloaded and installed Python, try to write a program
that will take as input 3 numbers (integers) and print out the average
of those three numbers. Get it running from a separate file 
(where you run it from the menu bar: Run > Run Module).
You do NOT need to turn this program in - this is simply for your own practice.
