The Jupyter notebook is an interactive environment that allows users to tell the story of an experiment by combining explanations in text, capturing the process in code, and representing results as images or graphs. The Notebook a particularly useful tool for expressing reproducible experiments because it allows you to record and share the experimental process – as well as the reasoning that went with it -- rather than just the results. Sharing a notebook allows others to easily repeat – and potentially also modify your experiment. This makes “standing on the shoulders of giants” a much easier proposition than ever before.
