After you have successfully installed Anaconda, hit the launcher and you should see something like this.
The following is part of a on-going collection of Jupyter notebooks. The goal being to have a library of notebooks as an introduction to Mathematics and technology. These were all created by Gavin Waters. If you use these notebooks, be nice and throw up a credit somewhere on your page.
The first place to begin is by downloading software. I highly recommend using pre-packaged "Anaconda". It basically gets all of the useful stuff for scientific computing and squeezes it together so that you can just press a button and up comes a functioning notebook.

Download and install anaconda with python 3.X
After you have successfully installed Anaconda, hit the launcher and you should see something like this.
All you have to do is click on jupyter and you should see a webpage pop up that looks like a files system. This is your home folder, to create a notebook, go to the right where it says new and click on it. Then "python[conda root]".
Simply try it out by typing
print('hello world')
hello world
Or view any of my other posts and try something new!
