Include a "General Syntax" section at the start of each notebook #23

It is really helpful to see the general syntax before getting into examples and details. If this is not shown, students have to infer the general syntax.

See Introducing Functions.

I'm not sure about this. General syntax is in the core Python documentation, and is not as accessible to beginners as specific examples. I'm certainly not sure that it belongs at the beginning of each notebook.
