Title: Modify explanation of zero-indexed arrays

This class isn't advanced enough to get into the deeper CS reasons for why we start counting at zero, but it would be nice to let students know this is called "zero-indexed," and that it is a very common thing in the programming world. When I teach this in class next week, I plan to gloss over it a little bit by saying the major reason for it has to do with mathematics. :)
