Using These Notes

These notes are built via Jupyter book, as a collection of Jupyter notebooks and markdown pages.

The course is on Github at: zingale/cca-summer-school, and the course website is built automatically via a Github action each time a change is pushed.

Note

For richer text styling in Jupyter notebooks, we use Myst Markdown, which requires the jupyterlab-myst extension. This can be installed via:

pip install jupyterlab_myst

If you find any problems or have suggestions for improving the notes, feel free to create an issue or pull request at the Github repo.

Interactive Usage

For the Jupyter notebooks in this collection, there are a few ways to access them to run them on your own.

• clicking on the icon in the upper right let’s you download the raw notebook so you can run it on your local computer.

• clicking on the icon in the upper right will allow you to run the notebook directly in the cloud. There are 2 different compute clouds:

  • mybinder : this is an open project with ties to the Jupyter project. It can take a few minutes for the page to appear if it hasn’t been accessed recently, but then it will give you the standard Jupyter experience.

  • Google colab : this is Google’s version of an online notebook, which runs directly in Google’s cloud. This starts up almost instantly.
