+Hello friends. Welcome to this spoken tutorial on Getting started with
+sage and sage notebook.
+
+{{{ Show the slide containing the title }}}
+
+{{{ Show the slide containing the outline }}}
+
+In this tutorial, we will learn what Sage is, what is Sage notebook,
+how to start and use the sage notebook. In the notebook we will be
+specifically learning how to execute our code, how to write
+annotations and other content, typesetting the content and how to use
+the offline help available.
+
+{{{ Show the slide on what is Sage }}}
+
+To start with, What is Sage? Sage is a free, open-source mathematical
+software. Sage can do a lot of math stuff for you including but not
+limited to algebra, calculus, geometry, cryptography, graph theory
+among other things. It can also be used as aid in teaching and
+research in any of the areas that Sage supports. So let us start Sage
+now
+
+{{{ Shift to terminal }}}
+
+We are assuming that you have Sage installed on your computer now. If
+not please visit the page
+http://sagemath.org/doc/tutorial/introduction.html#installation for
+the tutorial on how to install Sage. Let us move on now.
+
+On the terminal type::
+
+  sage
+
+This should start a new Sage shell with the prompt sage: which looks
+like this
+
+{{{ Show what is displayed on the terminal }}}
+
+So now we can type all the commands that Sage supports here. But Sage
+comes bundled with a much much much more elegant tool called Sage
+Notebook? What is Sage Notebook? Sage Notebook provides a web based
+user interface to use Sage. So once we have a Sage notebook server up
+and running all we want is a browser to access the Sage
+functionality. For example there is an official instance of Sage
+Notebook server running at http://sagenb.org You can visit that page,
+create an account there and start using Sage! So all you need is just
+a browser, a modern browser 
+
+{{{ Intentional *cough* *cough* }}}
+
+to use Sage and nothing else!
+
+However we can also run our own instances of Sage notebook servers on
+all the computers we have a local installation of Sage. To start the
+notebook server just type::
+
+  notebook()
+
+on the Sage prompt. This will start the Sage Notebook server.
+If we are starting the notebook server for the first time, we are
+prompted to enter the password for the admin. Type the password and
+make a note of it. After this Sage automatically starts a browser page
+for you with the notebook opened.
+
+If it doesn't automatically start a browser page check if the Notebook
+server started and there were no problems. If so open your browser and
+in the address bar type the URL shown in the instructions upon running
+the notebook command on the sage prompt.
+
+{{{ The notebook() command gives an instruction telling 
+Open your web browser to http://localhost:8000. Point towards it }}}
+
+In our case it is http://localhost:{{{ Tell whatever is shown }}}
+
+{{{ Show the browser with Sage notebook }}}
+
+If you are not logged in yet, it shows the Notebook home page and
+textboxes to type the username and the password. You can use the
+username 'admin' and the password you gave while starting the notebook
+server for the first time. There are also links to recover forgotten
+password and to create new accounts.
+
+{{{ If you are logged in tell that you are logged in, log out and show
+what is said above for the login page }}}
+
+Once we are logged in with the admin account we can see the notebook
+admin page. A notebook can contain a collection of Sage Notebook
+worksheets. Worksheets are basically the working area. This is where
+we enter all the Sage commands on the notebook.
+
+The admin page lists all the worksheets created. On the topmost part
+of this page we have the links to various pages. The home link takes
+to the admin home page. The published link takes us the page which
+lists all the published worksheets.
+
+
+
+
+This brings us to the end of the session on using Sage notebook. In
+this tutorial session we learnt
