[serynabatov]

Hi!
I'm a collegue of https://github.com/himahuja. Unfortunatelly I won't be able to participate at the call
But he has told me everything.

I will going to provide my reasoning of why I have changed these lines of description.

Plus further I'll create a few different PRs (for the easier review purposes)

Oops! Good catch.

Quick question
Does Pythia have some de facto standard to commit the suggestions?
I've read them all, they make sense to me

What I mean - should I apply them locally and then update the PR or I can just say to Github "Ok, commit" and you will receive 5 different commits in this branch right now

(The second one won't be a problem though if Pythia squashes the commits)

I usually do the 2nd option but it's up to you!

[serynabatov]

Ok, I've applied the comments
I'll check the pipelines (where I've been wrong, and then I'll ping you)
In the meanwhile I am creating a second PR with the numpy exercises

This section is a nice addition! Here's my suggested language tweak of the first paragraph:

Variables are containers for storing data, whether simple or complex. They can represent primitive data types or point to other more sophisticated containers, e.g., lists and dicts (which we will introduce later in this notebook).

What is the argument for removing the numpy and matplotlib sections here?

This notebook is meant to be a "quick tour" of Python usage particularly for people who are arriving from other programming languages. These sections are meant to introduce the modularity of the Python language and the idea of importing specialized packages. They also give a brief flavor of two of the most fundamental packages for scientific python.

What about keeping these sections, but just adding a note to help guide beginners?
