This workshop is a 2-hour session that will introduce interactive Jupyter notebooks, particularly the web-hosted version provided by Illinois Computes Research Notebooks (ICRN) service. We will discuss:
- The benefits that Jupyter can bring to research workflows
- How you can set up Jupyter locally or with cloud providers
- How to use Jupyter with ICRN
- How to navigate the interface and work with the various cells
We will also discuss basic Python programming and the Python numerical stack including packages like NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib. We will go over one or two hands-on examples to demonstrate some of these packages and how you use them with Jupyter.
Prerequisites:
Some familiarity with Python will be useful.
