Prerequisite: Getting started with Jupyter Notebook. Python is a great language for doing data analysis, primarily because of the fantastic ecosystem of data-centric python packages. What makes data analysis in Python more efficient and productive is Jupyter notebook or formerly known as the IPython notebook. Practice Your Markdown Skills. Open or create a new Jupyter Notebook file. Add a new Markdown cell and include: A title for the notebook (e.g. Intro to Earth Analytics - Chapter Four) A bullet list with: A bold word for Author: and then add text for your name. A bold word for Date: and then add text for today’s date. Add another Markdown cell.
Markdown is a simple text-to-HTML markup language written in plain text. Jupyter notebook recognizes markdown and renders markdown code as HTML. In this section, we present the basic features of markdown.
See Markdown (by John Gruber) and GitHub Markdown Help for more information.
