-\section{Installing Anaconda}\label{installing-anaconda}
-
-This tutorial will cover the steps on how to install Anaconda.
-
-\emph{Note for Advanced users: For those who wish to have a lightweight
-installation, can install miniconda or miniForge, however for this
-course we will show you how to use Anaconda Navigator. If you've never
-used the programs before then using Anaconda is recommended.}
-
-\subsubsection{What is Anaconda?}\label{what-is-anaconda}
-
-Anaconda Distribution is a popular open-source Python distribution
-specifically designed for scientific computing, data science, machine
-learning, and artificial intelligence applications. It simplifies the
-set up and use of Python for data science, machine learning, and
-scientific computing. It comes with all the important tools you need,
-like NumPy, Pandas, and JupyterLab, so you don't have to install
-everything separately. The Conda package manager helps you install and
-update software without worrying about breaking other programs. It also
-lets you create separate environments, so different projects don't
-interfere with each other. Additionally, Anaconda includes programs like
-JupyterLab for interactive coding, and Spyer a MATLAB-like IDE.

-\section{Introduction to Anaconda Navigator}\label{introduction-to-anaconda-navigator}
-
-Anaconda Navigator is a program that we will be using in this course to
-manage Python environments, libraries and launch programs to help us
-write our python code.
-
-The Anaconda website nicely describes \emph{Navigator} as:
-
-a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables you to work with packages
-and environments without needing to type conda commands in a terminal
-window.Find the packages you want, install them in an environment, run
-the packages, and update them -- all inside Navigator.
-
-To better understand how Navigator works and interacts with the anaconda
-ecosystem see the figure below.
-
-\includegraphics{figures/AnacondaSchematic.png} 
-
-As you schematic
-indicated, Navigator is a tool in the Anaconda toolbox that allows the
-user to select and configure python environments and libraries. Let's
-see how we can do this.
-
-\subsection{Getting Started}\label{getting-started}
-
-Note to windows 10 users: Some installation instances do not allow users
-to search the start menu for \emph{Navigator}, instead, you'll have to
-find the program under the \emph{Anaconda (anaconda3)} folder. Expand
-the folder and click on \emph{Anaconda Navigator} to launch the program.
-
-\begin{figure}
-\centering
-\includegraphics{figures/installingAnaconda_windows_launched.png}
-\caption{Anaconda Navigator screen}
-\end{figure}
-
-Once Navigator starts, under \emph{Home}, you'll see tiles of programs
-that come with anaconda. The tab allows you to launch the programs we
-will be using in this course. Before jumping straight into the programs
-we will first need to configure our Python instance.
-
-The \emph{Environment} page allows us to install a variety of libraries
-and configure our environments for different project, more on this in
-the next section.
-
-\subsection{Environments}\label{environments}
-
-A Python environment can be thought of as a ``container'' where you can
-have all the tools, libraries, and dependencies your Python project
-needs without interfering with other projects. Think of it as a
-dedicated toolbox for your project.
-
-Although the base environment comes with many libraries and programs
-pre-installed, it's recommended to create a dedicated environment for
-your projects. This protects the base environment from breaking due to
-complex dependency conflicts. Let us go ahead and create a new
-environment for us to use Spyder with.
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}
-\tightlist
-\item
-  Click on the \emph{Environments} page located on the left hand side.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-\begin{figure}
-\centering
-\includegraphics{figures/anaconda_environment_page.png}
-\caption{Environment Page}
-\end{figure}
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}
-\setcounter{enumi}{1}
-\tightlist
-\item
-  At the bottom of the environments list, click \emph{Create}.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-\begin{figure}
-\centering
-\includegraphics{figures/anaconda_create_new_environment.png}
-\caption{Create new environment}
-\end{figure}
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}
-\setcounter{enumi}{2}
-\item
-  Select the python checkbox.
-\item
-  Select versions of python. At the time of making this tutorial the
-  latest version of Python is 3.xx.x. We will go ahead and use that one.
-\item
-  Choose an appropriate name for your project. We will be creating an
-  environment for the Spyder IDE so we'll call it ``Spyder-env''.
-\item
-  Click \emph{Create}.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-For more information see
-\href{https://docs.anaconda.com/working-with-conda/environments/}{Anaconda
-Environments} and
-\href{https://docs.anaconda.com/navigator/tutorials/manage-environments/}{Managing
-environment}.
-
-\subsection{Package Management}\label{package-management}
-
-Now that we have a clean environment configured, let us install some
-library we will be using for this class.
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}
-\tightlist
-\item
-  Navigate to the environment page and select the environment we just
-  created in the previous section.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-\begin{figure}
-\centering
-\includegraphics{figures/anaconda_select_package_to_manage.png}
-\caption{Select environment to manage}
-\end{figure}
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}
-\setcounter{enumi}{1}
-\tightlist
-\item
-  Use the search bar in the top right corner to search for the following
-  packages:
-\end{enumerate}
-
-\begin{longtable}[]{@{}ll@{}}
-\toprule\noalign{}
-Library & Usage \\
-\midrule\noalign{}
-\endhead
-\bottomrule\noalign{}
-\endlastfoot
-numpy & Numerical computation \\
-scipy & Scientific and techical computing \\
-pandas & Data manipulation and analysis \\
-matplotlib & Plots and visualizations \\
-sympy & Symbolic mathematics \\
-\end{longtable}
-
-\emph{Note: The libraries list may change throughout the development of
-this course}
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}
-\setcounter{enumi}{2}
-\tightlist
-\item
-  Check the boxes to install the selected packages to the current
-  environment.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-\subsection{Installing Applications}\label{installing-applications}
-
-From the \emph{Home} page you can install applications, to the current
-environment we created in the Environment section above. In this section
-we will install Spyder IDE, but the process is exactly the same for
-other applications.
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}
-\item
-  Go to the \emph{Home} page.
-\item
-  Select the desired environment. In our case, we select
-  \emph{Spyder-env}.
-\item
-  From the Home page find the Spyder IDE tile. Click the \emph{Install}
-  button to start the download.
-\end{enumerate}

-\begin{enumerate}
-\def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}
-\setcounter{enumi}{3}

-\item
-  Once the download is complete, press \emph{Launch} to start the
-  applications.

-\subsection{The Importance of Programming in
-Engineering}\label{the-importance-of-programming-in-engineering}
-
-Engineering is all about solving problems, designing innovative
-solutions, and making systems work efficiently. Whether you're designing
-cars, airplanes, rockets, or even everyday machines, programming plays a
-critical role in modern engineering.
-
-In mechanical engineering, programming helps us \textbf{analyze data,
-model complex systems, automate repetitive tasks, and simulate
-real-world physics.} For example, instead of spending hours solving
-equations by hand, engineers can write a program that does it in
-seconds. This saves time and therefore do more.
-
-With programming, mechanical engineers can:
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\tightlist
-\item
-  \textbf{Automate calculations:} Quickly solve equations for heat
-  transfer, fluid dynamics, and mechanical stresses.
-\item
-  \textbf{Simulate systems:} Model how a bridge bends under weight or
-  how an engine burns fuel efficiently.
-\item
-  \textbf{Analyze data:} Process thousands of test results to improve
-  designs.
-\item
-  \textbf{Control machines:} Program robots, 3D printers, and CNC's.
-\end{itemize}
-
-In this course, you'll see how computing and programming applies to
-mechanical engineering and how they can make you a better problem
-solver. By the end, you'll have the skills and understanding of how to
-write programs that help you \textbf{think like an engineer in the
-digital age.}
