Conversations Ongoing: Wiesner-Hanks Responds

Well I guess one can still dream, but unfortunately this one isn't what we thought it was. Here is the response from the author:

Conversations Ongoing: Valuing Modernization in Early European History

Western scholarship has been known to focus on several metanarratives that define itself. These narratives can influence how we as historians view a certain time period, people, or event.

Python 3.4 - Numbers

 Oh no, numbers!!! + add - subtract * multiply / divide Don't forget your order of operations (i.e. 3 + 2 * 8 = 19, not 40.) Parentheses take precedence! (i.e. (3 + 2) * 8 = 40, not 19.) // drop the remainder % give me the remainder only ** to the power of 3 (i.e. 5 * 5* 5 = 125 is the same as 5 **3) **variables can be turned into numbers and vice versa (i.e. bacon = 5, therefore bacon + 5 = 10)*** num = 3 print ( type (num)) num2 = 2.3 print ( type (num2)) num3 = 3 + 2 print (num3) print ( 3 * 3 ) print ( 3 / 2 ) # drops the remainder print ( 3 // 2 ) print ( 3 ** 2 ) # this is equal to 3 x 3 or 3^2 print ( 3 ** 3 ) # this is 3^3 or 3 x 3 x 3 print ( 2 % 2 ) # this is giving the remainder, which would be zero for x in range ( 10 ): if x % 2 == 0 : print (x , 'these numbers have a remainder of 0 when divided by 2' ) else : print (x , 'these do not.' ) # order of operations hold true in python print ( 3 * 2 -
