 ## Checkpoint 1

 ### Aim

 To write a basic `Python` program to prompt for a floating point number, read it in, perform basic arithmetic and print out the result.

 ### Task

 Write a `Python` program to calculate and output the radius and surface area of a sphere from its volume.

 Your program should:

 1. Prompt for the volume of a sphere in $mm^3$.
 2. Calculate and print out to the terminal the radius and the surface area of the sphere in m and $m^2$ respectively in an understandable format.

 Check your program works for a range of volumes, both large and small and that you have the output units correct.

 ### Background

 To complete this checkpoint you need to have read and studied the following course sections:

 1. [Basic Variables](../CourseNotes/variables.ipynb)
 2. [Printing and Reading to/from the terminal](../CourseNotes/terminalIO.ipynb)
 3. [Adding Mathematical Functions](../CourseNotes/functions.ipynb)

 ### Checkpoint

 - Check carefully that you have fullfilled at least the assessement criteria below. Call a demonstrator, show them your code, and run your program with the following input volumes:
-    - $ 1.4 \times 10^6 \text{ mm}^3 $
-    - $ 3.7 \times 10^{-4} \text{ mm}^3 $
+    - $$ 1.4 \times 10^6 \text{ mm}^3 $$
+    - $$ 3.7 \times 10^{-4} \text{ mm}^3 $$
 - Ensure that the demonstrator finds you in Learn. Please check that your pass/fail (0/1) has been entered correctly (you should be able to see this in Learn).

 ### Assessment

 To pass this checkpoint:

 - The program works for the supplied numbers, *including* correct powers of 10.
 - Prompting is sensible and the output is clear.
 - Variable names are concise, but explain their purpose, and there are basic commenets explaining the operation of the program.

 ### Next steps

 Once you have completed this checkpoint, please continue with the [Week1](../WeeklyTasks/Week1.ipynb) tasklist.
