 As you might know by now that Python is a programming language. To make your job easier, developers of this programming language provide users like you with libraries (or packages). Core libraries will help you with fundamental numerical functions, and high-level libraries will help you efficiently analyze and visualize your data. Some of these libraries are used all across the Python community, while others are domain-specific. Read below to learn more about core and high-level libraries, and domain-specific libraries of the geoscience community. We suggest that new users start with the [Foundational Skills](../foundations/overview) section in order to get the most out of the tutorials below.

+## Overview
+
+Pythia Foundations is a geoscience-flavored introduction to essential tools in the Scientific Python Ecosystem (SPE) and [Pangeo](https://pangeo.io) stack. It covers the foundational knowledge that's needed to get started with Python in the computational geosciences, as well as to become an effective citizen-practitioner in key open geoscience software ecosystems. The intended audience is anyone from undergraduate students through established geoscientists who are relatively new to working in Python. The tutorials in this book also serve as references and prerequisites for the more advanced and domain-specific content in the [Pythia Cookbook Gallery](https://cookbooks.projectpythia.org).
+
+## What's included
+
+The Scientific Python Ecosystem (SPE) is a collection of
 open source Python packages that support analysis, manipulation,
 and visualization of scientific data. While Project Pythia is focused
 on the geoscience communities, the material contained in Pythia
