A gallery of interesting Jupyter Notebooks

This page is a curated collection of Jupyter/IPython notebooks that are notable. Feel free to add new content here, but please try to only include links to notebooks that include interesting visual or technical content; this should not simply be a dump of a Google search on every ipynb file out there.

Important contribution instructions: If you add new content, please ensure that for any notebook you link to, the link is to the rendered version using nbviewer, rather than the raw file. Simply paste the notebook URL in the nbviewer box and copy the resulting URL of the rendered version. This will make it much easier for visitors to be able to immediately access the new content.

Note that Matt Davis has conveniently written a set of bookmarklets and extensions to make it a one-click affair to load a Notebook URL into your browser of choice, directly opening into nbviewer.

General Python Programming

Notebooks in languages other than Python

These are notebooks that use [one of the IPython kernels for other languages](IPython kernels for other languages):

Julia

The IPython protocols to communicate between kernels and clients are language agnostic, and other programming language communities have started to build support for this protocol in their language. The Julia team has created IJulia, and these are some Julia notebooks:

Haskell

There exists a Haskell kernel for IPython in the IHaskell project.

OCaml

iocaml is an OCaml kernel for IPython

Ruby

Similar to the Julia kernel there exists also a Ruby kernel for IPython.

The interactive plotting library Nyaplot has some case studies using IRuby:

Perl

F#

C#

  • Xamarin Workbooks Create a rich C# workbook for Android, iOS, Mac, WPF, or Console, and get instant live results as you learn these APIs.

Javascript

Miscellaneous topics about doing various things with the Notebook itself

Reproducible academic publications

This section contains academic papers that have been published in the peer-reviewed literature or pre-print sites such as the ArXiv that include one or more notebooks that enable (even if only partially) readers to reproduce the results of the publication. If you include a publication here, please link to the journal article as well as providing the nbviewer notebook link (and any other relevant resources associated with the paper).

  1. Discovery of Gravitational Waves by the LIGO collaboration. That page, from the LIGO Open Science Center, contains multiple notebooks for various datasets corresponding to different events; this binder lets you run the code right away. More details on the GW150914 event as well as the original main Physical Review Letters paper, "Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger".

  2. Predicting Coronal Mass Ejections Using Machine Learning Methods by Monica Bobra and Stathis Ilonidis (Astrophysical Journal, 2016). An IPython notebook, which reproduces all the results, has been permanently deposited in the Stanford Digital Repository.

  3. The Paper of the Future by Alyssa Goodman et al. (Authorea Preprint, 2017). This article explains and shows with demonstrations how scholarly "papers" can morph into long-lasting rich records of scientific discourse, enriched with deep data and code linkages, interactive figures, audio, video, and commenting. It includes an interactive d3.js visualization and has an astronomical data figure with an IPYthon Notebook "behind" it.

  4. Reply to 'Influence of cosmic ray variability on the monsoon rainfall and temperature': a false-positive in the field of solar-terrestrial research by Benjamin Laken, 2015. Reviewed article will appear in JASTP. The IPython notebook reproduces the full analysis and figures exactly as they appear in the article, and is available on Github: link via figshare.

  5. An open RNA-Seq data analysis pipeline tutorial with an example of reprocessing data from a recent Zika virus study, by Zichen Wang and Avi Ma'ayan. (F1000Research 2016, 5:1574). An IPython notebook was used to perform the proposed RNA-Seq pipeline using public gene expression data of human cells after Zika virus infection. The computational pipeline is also version controlled and Dockerized available here.

  6. The probability of improvement in Fisher's geometric model: a probabilistic approach, by Yoav Ram and Lilach Hadany. (Theoretical Population Biology, 2014). An IPython notebook, allowing figure reproduction, was deposited as a supplementry file.

  7. Stress-induced mutagenesis and complex adaptation, by Yoav Ram and Lilach Hadany (Proceedings B, 2014). An IPython notebook, allowing figures reproduction, was deposited as a supplementry file.

  8. Automatic segmentation of odor maps in the mouse olfactory bulb using regularized non-negative matrix factorization, by J. Soelter et al. (Neuroimage 2014, Open Access). The notebook allows to reproduce most figures from the paper and provides a deeper look at the data. The full code repository is also available.

  9. Mechanisms for stable, robust, and adaptive development of orientation maps in the primary visual cortex by Jean-Luc R. Stevens, Judith S. Law, Jan Antolik, and James A. Bednar. Journal of Neuroscience, 33:15747-15766, 2013. [Notebook1] (https://ioam.github.io/topographica/_static/gcal_notebook.html), Notebook2.

Data-driven journalism

Whimsical notebooks

Videos of IPython being used in the wild

Of course the first thing you might try is searching for videos about IPython (1900 or so by last count on Youtube) but there are demonstrations of other applications using the power of IPython but are not mentioned is the descriptions. Below are a few such:

Accessing and programing a IBM quantum computer via notebooks

  • Github notebook example (scroll down) illustrating how to use Qiskit and access the IBMQ quantum computers.
