So, I have iPython installed on my machine, because I did the EPD install.
The notebook worked fine in Chrome...so am I to understand that it's using my
local machine as an iPython server and just using the browser as the interface?
Yes
How would this work with a classroom of students? Would they still all have to
install EPD, or could they all run off of my server?
They would have to install iPython.
Thanks

Try the IPython Notebook, it's easier to set and use than SAGE

Hi Edu,
I'm hoping to start bringing python into my math teaching in stages over the
next year.
I've been trying out different installations and setups, and wondering if
anyone could offer any guidance.
Ideally, I'd have a setup that included numpy/scipy/matplotlib, but that stuff
seems to be difficult to install by itself, or necessarily come along with a
heavy duty installation of other things in the various distributions I've seen
(SAGE, and EPD). Plus, anyone wanting to use an iPad is stuck. So, installing
EPD is option 1, but has those limitations. Thoughts?
Option 2 is just not using pylab-y stuff, and just going plain installation.
Macs, PCs, and iPads could all join, and we could just use a simple text editor
(I like Sublime Text 2), and the terminal.
Option 3 is an idea from Fraser Speirs. Set up a Linux server on Amazon cloud
services and have students SSH in to one installation. This also has the
benefit of giving iPad users an option.
Would love to hear the setups you all use, and any ideas you may have.
Thanks!
Prof. Bruce
