Let's do the Math - Python Tutorial #1

Here we learn how to do basic math. Computers are really good with numbers and a lot of what we will do involves doing things with numbers. We learn about the operators for addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/), power(**) and modulo (%).
We also learn how to assign a name to the result of our calculations. A name is the python equivalent of a variable. Once we've assigned a name, that name sticks around while python is running and we can access the value again through the name. Names are extremely important because they represent everything that python currently remembers.
Because they are so important we will go into more detail on names and what's behind them in the next video.
