+In Week 2 we will learn to use the [git](https://git-scm.com/) source
+code management tool, a distributed version control system (VCS), that
+is widely used in the open source communities and in industry. A VCS
+keeps track of multiple files in a project and allows multiple people
+to work on the same project without overwriting each other's changes.

+We will also review the [Python](https://www.python.org/) programming
+language. Python is widely used in the sciences (and in industry) and
+provides everything one needs to solve problems in virtually all areas
+you can think of.
