In this course, we believe that what matters is what YOU do. The course content created by the instructors is just the skeleton, to which you have to add flesh and blood to bring it to life.

Did you find a related problem that illustrates one of the concepts we discuss in the course? Did you write an alternative version of a code? Do you want to challenge your peers? Contribute here!

Use a distinctive title for your notebook, and prepend the number of the Course Module that it relates to, so that the list of files becomes easier to browse. For example: 01_pendulum_with_Euler.ipnb

Use section headings and organize your writing and your code making the notebook easy to scan. Split code cells if they become too long, and add explanations of what the code is doing, as necessary.

Apply the numerical-mooc CSS style to your notebook by including the following code in a cell at the bottom of your notebook:

from IPython.core.display import HTML
css_file = '../../styles/numericalmoocstyle.css'
HTML(open(css_file, "r").read())

The path to css_file above assumes that your notebook is located two folders down from the root of the repository, e.g.

  assignment-bank/
    assignments/
      your-assignment/
        your_notebook.ipynb
