Python and Jupyter notebooks

You should always use python 3 and not python 2 which is now defunct (mostly). I recommend installing Anaconda from here on your own machines, which is a Python distribution that comes with everything we need for the course.

There are many introductory online courses for python, for example here or here.

Jupyter notebook documentation is here.

Numpy docs are here.

Scipy docs are here.

Matplotlib docs are here
