Computing Resources Computing is an invaluable resource for the physical sciences. As the need arises, I will post notes on using Jupyter or Mathematica notebooks here.
Cautionary note for Safari Browswer users: By default Safari downloads jupyter notebooks as text files (extension .txt). Before you are able to open the file properly in jupyter you will need to change this extension to the python notebook extension .ipynb. To fix this you have to go to a Terminal and use mv, or a similar command, to rename the file; renaming the file using the icon usually won't work.
