Welcome to Week 9!

Welcome to Week 9 of the Earth Analytics Bootcamp course! This week, you will write Python code in Jupyter Notebook to implement another strategy for DRY (i.e. Do Not Repeat Yourself) code: functions.

Learning Objectives

After completing the lessons for Week 9, you will be able to:

• Explain how functions help you to write DRY code
• Create Python functions that allow you to modularize your code and associated tasks
• Add useful, numpy-style doc-strings to your functions to support using the help() function.
