9/25/2022	Intermediate 1A: Fall - Modular Arithmetic 1 More ... Quarter Goals: Learn basics of modular arithmetic Learn fundamentals of python programming Practice employing programming to solve difficult math problems Class Logistics: We will meet from 4-6 pm at Math Sciences 6221. Class Plan: Hello everyone! We begin this quarter by briefly studying modular arithmetic. This will serve as a warmup for the type of coding challenges we plan to tackle in Python. The lecture materials will be posted after class. Required Resources: A pencil, eraser. Homework Due: None Homework Assigned: Please complete up to section 2 (pages 1 - 14) in the packet attached below. This packet was handed out during the lecture. We will review the homework next lecture. Contact Information: Please reach out to the instructors Andy Shen at andyshen55@g.ucla.edu or Naji Sarsam at najisarsam@g.ucla.edu if you have any questions, comments, or concerns!
