Faculty and Staff Assistance Program Counselor Casey Benson interviews Keri Johnson, Wellness and Fitness Specialist with Cornell Wellness, about the challenges of Working from Home with ADHD and…

in this presentation we review the Python data model, showing off the various operators we can define in Python. This is an area where Python is much more advanced than older object-oriented…

In this video we show one of the most powerful while-loop techniques: computing to convergence. Convergence is a concept that most students learn in Calculus, and so we will use a little Calculus in…

In this video we talk about the while-loop and explain why it is necessary. In particular, there are types of iteration that are not possible with the for-loop.

This partial typing from the previous video has a name. It is called duck typing. In this video we show both why this is so popular among Python programmers and also why it is so controversial.

Veterans Day is time to pay tribute to those who have served our country. Join us for this virtual Veterans Day Ceremony to honor our Veterans and learn a bit more about the history of Veterans Day.

Operator overloading allows us to redefine the meaning of + or * on objects of our class. But sometimes we want to mix together types like a fraction and integer. In this video we show that it is…

In this video we introduce the primary tool for abstraction in Python. Operator overloading allows us to define additional meanings for any built-in symbol such as + or *. Because Python uses the…

In this video we introduce the principle of abstraction, which is simply hiding unnecessary details about a class from the user of a class. However, there are many different ways to do that, which is…

In this video, we show another reason to pay attention to the division step: performance. In fact, we show an example where a change in how we divide the data can improve performance by several…

Recursion is a general concept that does not just apply to programming languages. In this video we show that recursion exists in mathematics and even natural language.

Strings, lists, and tuples are not the only iterable types. In this video we introduce the range function, which creates another iterable value. This is going to allow us to do several things that we…

Tuples are very, very similar to strings. In this video we explore this similarity, showing that they support many of the same operations and methods.
