Jupyter

Summary

Jupyter (jupyter.org) is a framework for managing code “notebooks” of cells, mixed code, text, images, and graphics. Users access to math, science, engineering, communication, and visualization tools on an open-source, web-based platform. Jupyter Notebook allows you to program in a web browser. Users can write live code, equations, visualizations, and narrative text, then share their Notebooks with others through email, GitHub, and the Jupyter Notebook Viewer in a single place. It is an open-source web application built for collaboration.

  • Share notebooks: Notebooks can be shared with others using email, Dropbox, GitHub, and the Jupyter Notebook Viewer.
  • Interactive output: Your code can produce rich, interactive output: HTML, images, videos, LaTeX, and custom MIME types.
