On using IPython and Notebooks

Click here for Notebook basics!

Also some useful link for installing IPython and notebook (which can be non-trivial). It tells you that you need to install ipython, pyzmq, tornado and mathjax to have notebook working.

Since I always want pylab and inline plots when using notebooks, I use

$ ipython notebook --pylab inline (for which I have set up an alias in my .cshrc file).
