In this homework, you will get acquainted with the Jupyter Notebook, which we will be using extensively in this class. You will need to sign up on SageMathCloud and pay the fee for this semester to use the tool. If you find yourself stuck, please read the computing tutorial

# Style Guide for Homeworks

There are multiple ways to earn full credit on your assignments. Along with a correct value, answers are expected to include units and to be in a reasonable notation. Reasonable notation would be an answer that does not have infinite digits (e.g. cannot equal 12389243.9343 joules, but must be written as 12.4 megajoules or 1.2e6 joules)

More about the style guide will be provided on the next homework

# Simple Calculation

In the cell below, explain a simple calculation and show the results.

Here is my example.
How many people are married in the U.S?

We assume a population of 350 million and that 60% of the U.S. is average marriage age. We also assume that 75% of the people within that age are married.

In [1]:
# This is a comment and will not interfer with your work
people = 35e7
fraction within marriage age = 0.60
fraction of the people married in that age = 0.75
people * fraction within marriage age * fraction of the people married in that age

14000000000.0
