# Objective 1
# 
# Array#map     iterates through an array, transforms the elements, and returns a new array
# Array#inject  combines all arrays from an array onto one return value by performing an operation a mathematical operation. The inject corresponds to the base value that you use for further operations. You inject this into the array. Another name for this enumerable method is reduce
# Array#select  filter an array and returns a new one
# yield         method yields control and uses the output of a bloc

Vision

Students and scholars in the humanities generally rely on prefabricated tools to guide and instruct their learning and research. We are reluctant to engage with technology through coding. This remains a major distinction between the humanities and the sciences. The sciences design, create and maintain their own digital research environments and tools, while the humanities make do with prefabricated, and often inappropriate, tools.

At the moment, there are no broadly available academic programming courses aimed at humanities scholars. For various reasons, however, coding skills are needed now more than ever, and even more so in the future:

1. Knowledge of programming helps students and researchers to understand the various technologically mediated objects that they are studying.

2. Developing custom tools, rather than using ready-made ones, can improve the actual practice of humanities research as well as (the quantity and quality) of its output.
