+## Overview
+
+In any non-trivial calculation, we want to let our computer remember
+things, such as the content of a data file, or the parameters/settings
+we use in our program. Variables allows one to make a computer
+store ('remember') information. Here we use our first simple variables.
+
+Also we practice converting an equation and a mathematical problem
+to Python code. We will discover the helpful modulo operator.
