# Before we begin

Preliminaries

* [Khan Academy](https://www.khanacademy.org/) is a great source for any gaps encountered during the book in biology, electrical engineering, and mathematics. In this GitBook learning guide, I will refer you to the relevant materials and tutorials as we progress through the chapters.
* Knowledge in [Python](https://www.python.org/) will help you navigate the technical parts of the book. Get started with Python in [Coursera](https://www.coursera.org/)'s [introductory course to Python](https://www.coursera.org/learn/python) if you need a heads up.
