© Alia Gachassin / 2021 EPFL The Jupyter notebook design team Jupyter Notebooks are digital tools that have become indispensable in a number of disciplines taught at EPFL. Both students and teachers alike appreciate the Notebooks' flexibility and interactive features. Thanks to Jupyter Notebooks, students can solve structural engineering problems by watching structural deformation as it happens, understand signal processing with the help of sounds, music or images, and grasp abstract concepts in physics - all in a simple, accessible manner. The notebooks' digital environment combines computing power with course content so that students can practice computational thinking. This bolsters their conceptual reasoning and expands their programming skillset. Teachers use them to run virtual demonstrations during class and for assignments that students can work on remotely. In addition, the notebooks' interactive interface enables students to work out problems and deepen their knowledge.
