Introducing the IPython notebook
The notebook is the flagship feature of IPython. This web-based interactive environment combines code, rich text, images, videos, animations, mathematics, and plots into a single document. This modern tool is an ideal gateway to high-performance numerical computing and data science in Python. This entire book has been written in the notebook, and the code of every recipe is available as a notebook on the book's GitHub repository at https://github.com/ipython-books/cookbook-code.
In this recipe, we give an introduction to IPython and its notebook. In Getting ready, we also give general instructions on installing IPython and the Python scientific stack.
