Jupyter notebooks

Jupyter notebooks are fun and easy way to run python code locally. They are excellent for documenting code, which will allow you to easily access, run and understand you code in the future.

They allow you to edit code in the browser, with automatic syntax highlighting, indentation, and tab completion/introspection. Run code from the browser, with the results of computations attached to the code which generated them. See the results of computations with rich media representations, such as HTML, LaTeX, PNG, SVG, PDF, etc. Create and use interactive JavaScript widgets, which bind interactive user interface controls and visualizations to reactive kernel side computations. Author narrative text using the Markdown markup language. Include mathematical equations using LaTeX syntax in Markdown, which are rendered in-browser by MathJax.
