Python and Jupyter for UBC Mathematics#

About#

Python is an open source general purpose programming language and Jupyter is a web application for creating computational documents with Python. Syzygy is an instance of a JupyterHub and is managed by the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences. Syzygy hosts Jupyter notebooks for all UBC students, faculty and staff. Python and Jupyter are an important part of the undergraduate program in the Department of Mathematics at the University of British Columbia and our goal is to get students and instructors up and running quickly with Python and Jupyter.
