Resources for setting up your coding environment

• Instructions for setting up Python and the Jupiter Notebook

• A quick and great NumPy refresher that covers everything (and more) you'd need for this book

• Recommended! To check your coding environment, open the check_environment.ipynb (it can be found in this directory) in Jupyter Notebook and execute the code cell:

Table of contents and code notebooks

Simply click on the ipynb/nbviewer links next to the chapter headlines to view the code examples (currently, the internal document links are only supported by the NbViewer version). Please note that these are just the code examples accompanying the book, which I uploaded for your convenience; be aware that these notebooks may not be useful without the formulae and descriptive text.

Contact

I am happy to answer questions! Just write me an email or consider asking the question on the Google Groups Email List.

If you are interested in keeping in touch, I have quite a lively twitter stream (@rasbt) all about data science and machine learning. I also maintain a blog where I post all of the things I am particularly excited about.
