In this course, you will learn about the Python programming language in the context of mechanical and aerospace engineering. 

You will start with the basics of Python, like variables, collections, and different types of loops. Once you have the basics out of the way, the real fun begins. You will learn how to: graph thrust available and thrust required, graph dynamic pressure during a rocket launch, and how to plot airfoil coordinates. 

Towards the end, you will get a strong overview of orbital parameters and learn how to model both 2D and 3D static orbits. Once you’ve completed this course, you will have a better understanding of Python and how it works in the context of mechanical/aerospace engineering.

These are the libraries that we will be using.

```python
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import openpyxl
```

## Getting text

The first function you want to create will accept a website address (URL) as an argument and return the text (the code as `str`) of the website. This is a good, neutral function that can be included in any other program you write because it is agnostic to the URL.
