Overview of this book

Python is one of the leading open source platforms for data science and numerical computing. IPython and the associated Jupyter Notebook offer efficient interfaces to Python for data analysis and interactive visualization, and they constitute an ideal gateway to the platform. IPython Interactive Computing and Visualization Cookbook, Second Edition contains many ready-to-use, focused recipes for high-performance scientific computing and data analysis, from the latest IPython/Jupyter features to the most advanced tricks, to help you write better and faster code. You will apply these state-of-the-art methods to various real-world examples, illustrating topics in applied mathematics, scientific modeling, and machine learning. The first part of the book covers programming techniques: code quality and reproducibility, code optimization, high-performance computing through just-in-time compilation, parallel computing, and graphics card programming. The second part tackles data science, statistics, machine learning, signal and image processing, dynamical systems, and pure and applied mathematics.

Configuring the Jupyter Notebook

Many aspects of the Jupyter Notebook can be configured. We covered the configuration of the IPython kernel in the Mastering IPython's configuration system recipe in Chapter 1, A Tour of Interactive Computing with Jupyter and IPython. In this recipe, we show how to configure the Jupyter application and the Jupyter Notebook frontend.

How to do it...

  1. Let's check whether the Jupyter Notebook configuration file already exists:
    >>> %ls ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py
    ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py

    If it does not, type !jupyter notebook --generate-config -y in the notebook. If the file already exists, this command will delete its contents and replace it with the default file.

    Note

    A Jupyter configuration file may exist in Python or in JSON (the same location and filename, but different file extension). JSON files have a higher priority. Unlike Python files, JSON files may be edited programmatically.

  2. We can inspect the contents of the file...
