Draw (roughly) the plot obtained by the following:
\begin{lstlisting}
In []: x = linspace(0, 2*pi, 3)
In []: plot(x, sin(x))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

%% \begin{frame}[fragile]
%% \frametitle{\incqno }
%% Describe the plot produced by the following:
%% \begin{lstlisting}
%% In []: x = linspace(0, 2*pi, 50)
%% In []: plot(x, cos(x), 'go')
%% \end{lstlisting}
%% \end{frame}

\frametitle{\incqno }
How will you plot the previous graph with line width set to 3?  How will
you set the $x$ and $y$ labels of the plot?
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{\incqno }
How will you set the x and y axis limits so that the region of interest
is in the rectangle $(0, -1.5)$ (left bottom coordinate) and $(2\pi,
1.5)$ (right top coordinate)?
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{\incqno }
What ipython magic command do you use to obtain the lines of code you have already typed in the interpreter? What command do you use to save them?
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{\incqno }
The following code snippet has an error/bug:
\begin{lstlisting}
In []: y = linspace(0, 2*pi, 50)
In []: plot(y, sin(y))
In []: clf()
In []: plot(y, cos(y))
In []: legend(['sin(y)', 'cos(y)']) 
\end{lstlisting}
What is the error? How do you fix it?  
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{\incqno }
  \begin{lstlisting}
  In []: a = [1, 2, 5, 9]
  In []: a[0:-1]
  \end{lstlisting}
  What is the output?
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{\incqno }
  How do you combine two lists \emph{a} and \emph{b} to produce one list?
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{\incqno }
  \begin{lstlisting}
  In []: a = [1, 2, 5, 9]
  \end{lstlisting}
  How do you add the value 10 to the end of this list?
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{\incqno }
Write the code to read a file \texttt{data.txt} and print each line of it?
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{\incqno }
What would be the result of the following code snippet:
\begin{lstlisting}
In []: x = linspace(0, 10, 50)
In []: y = linspace(50, 100, 100)
In []: plot(x, y)
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{\incqno }
The following code snippet has an error/bug:
\begin{lstlisting}
In []: l = [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4]
In []: t = [0.69, 0.90, 1.19, 1.30]
In []: tsq = []
In []: for time in t:
 ....:     tsq.append(time*time)
 ....:     plot(l, tsq)
