+\begin{itemize}
+\item Assigning default values to arguments
+\item Calling functions using Keyword arguments
+\item functions in standard library
+\end{itemize}

+\frametitle{Question 1}
+\label{sec-2}
+
+  Redefine the function \texttt{welcome}, by interchanging it's
+  arguments. Place the \texttt{name} argument with it's default value of
+  ``World'' before the \texttt{greet} argument.
+\end{frame}
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+\frametitle{Solution 1}
+\label{sec-3}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+def welcome(name="World", greet):
+    print greet, name
+\end{verbatim}
+  We get an error that reads \texttt{SyntaxError: non-default argument   follows default argument}. When defining a function all the
+  argument with default values should come at the end.
+\end{frame}
+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{Question 2}
+\label{sec-4}
+
+  See the definition of linspace using \texttt{?} and observe how all the
+  arguments with default values are towards the end.
+\end{frame}
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+\frametitle{Solution 2}
+\label{sec-5}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+linspace?
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{frame}
+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{Question 3}
+\label{sec-6}
+
+  Redefine the function \texttt{welcome} with a default value of
+  ``Hello'' to the \texttt{greet} argument. Then, call the function without any
+  arguments. 
+\end{frame}
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+\frametitle{Solution 3}
+\label{sec-7}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+def welcome(greet="Hello", name="World"):
+    print greet, name
+
+welcome()
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{frame}

+\frametitle{Summary}
+\label{sec-8}
+
+  You should now be able to --
+\begin{itemize}
+\item define functions with default arguments
+\item call functions using keyword arguments
+\end{itemize}
