\frametitle{\incqno }
Draw (roughly) the plot obtained by the following:

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)'])
