This workshop was on using Python, the IPython notebook, Numpy, Scipy and Matplotlib.
You can also use the Enthought Python Distribution which will install all the necessary libraries and packages for you.
Open a terminal (command prompt in Windows) and navigate to the directory where you want to work; this is where your notebook files will be stored.
To launch the notebook, simply enter:
>ipython notebook
To launch the notebook with inline plotting, enter:
>ipython notebook --pylab inline
To view IPython notebooks hosted online (e.g. in this GitHub repository), use the IPython Notebook Viewer.
