Overview
The purpose of this homework is to make sure you've got a development environment set up so you can write and test code for the remaining assignments. Your development environment includes:
- The proper version of Python (namely 2.7)
- Installation of necessary libraries (e.g. Pandas, NumPy, etc.)
- Installation of historical stock data.
Important note: We use a specific, static set of data for this course. If you download your own data from Yahoo, you will get the wrong answers on the assignments.
