====== Jupyter/IPython documentation/usage tips (work in progress) ======

===== Introduction =====


{{:jupyter.svg|}}

The [[http://www.jupyter.org | Jupyter project]] provides open source, interactive data science and scientific computing across over 40 programming languages. It used to be called IPython (just changed its name recently to reflect the fact that it now supports other programming languages other than python)


The Jupyter notebook is a web application that allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations and explanatory text. Uses include: data cleaning and transformation, numerical simulation, statistical modeling, machine learning and much more.

We will use the Jupyter notebook for most of our Python Problem Sets.


==== Getting started with the Jupyter/IPython notebook (work in progress) ====

In the Virtual Machine, open the Jupyter Notebook desktop shortcut. That will open Firefox with a list of the directories/files that Jupyter can access. Select ''example_notebooks'' and then ''intro_to_jupyter_notebook.ipynb''.

Follow the instructions in the example notebook.
Our first recitation (Friday 09/11) will cover how to get started with the course VM and the Jupyter notebook.
