Slides¶

I make interactive Jupyter-based slides using RISE for use during class. You can view them here, or open them to interact.

Environment¶

This explains how I configure my environment in case you wish to install and use the slides locally, or adapt these tools for your own use.

TL;DR:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
jupyter contrib nbextension install --user

And for these (using Julia in Jupyter)

julia -e 'import Pkg; Pkg.add("IJulia")'

The main packages are

RISE: General editing and presentation of slides
- Alt-R: Snap in and out of presentation mode
- Shift-I: toggle slides
- Shift-G: toggle fragment (incrementally revealed cells)
splitcell: create two columns

jupyter nbextension enable splitcell/splitcell
- Shift-S: toggle splitting this cell
hide_code: Hide code and/or prompts from view

jupyter nbextension install –py hide_code
- This is what you want for interactive figures where the code that created the figure is not relevant to the viewer.

Open in your browser

jupyter-notebook the-slides.ipynb

Toggle slide-show mode using Alt-R.

When saving, use Kernel -> Restart & Clear Output to keep the stored data and diffs in the notebook small.
PDF files are not web-friendly. PDF images can be converted to SVG using pdf2svg, and the result will still look sharp (unlike PNG).

Install the latest nbmerge

pip install -U nbmerge

and run

make integrated.ipynb
