Learn to code in 60 seconds. A program is a coded set of instructions for a computer to execute. Programs manipulate data, which come in several data types: integers, that's whole numbers; floats, have decimal points; booleans, true or false; and strings, of characters (don't forget the quotation marks).

Need to store a piece of data for later use? A variable names its location and points to it. Have a bunch of data? Organize it with a data structure. Lists store data in an ordered sequence, but we start counting at an index of zero. Dictionaries associate each piece of data with a key for easy lookup.

To make decisions in a program, ask a question with a Boolean expression. Then, choose which path to take with an if statement. To repeat a code routine, use a loop. A while loop repeats until the answer to your question becomes false. A for loop repeats a fixed number of times.

Have a lot of code? Break it down into smaller tasks with functions. Customize the function with input arguments and call the function to execute its task. Did you catch all that? Take it at your own pace with Khan Academy's intro to computer science course.

Experience a Historical Russian Bathhouse | National Geographic

Now, Russians didn’t come up with the idea of public baths; the Romans did that. But Russians did take the bathing ritual to a whole new level. Today, we’re here in St. Petersburg at the old Cossack baths. They were built in 1879 and since then have seen …

Sketching exponentials

Now I want to show you a really useful manual skill that you can use when you have voltages that look like exponentials. We’re going to talk about this exponential curve here that’s generated as part of the natural response of this RC circuit. We worked …
