How to view these notebooks

Students registered in the class can use the official CSCI Virtual Machine. Setup instructions for Jupyter notebook and the scala kernel are provided.

If you do not have access to these VMs, please install jupyter notebook, scala IDEs (including compiler, scala build tools) and the Almond kernel for scala: https://github.com/almond-sh/almond. It works well with Java 1.8 and 1.11 (the stable versions for the JDK). However, we have made it work for other Java versions with careful choice of the almond kernel, sbt and scala versions.

Note: Although github has a viewer for these notebooks, it often cannot render some of the characters very well. Thus, the output looks distorted with "Unknown Character" all over the place. Cloning and viewing on your own jupyter notebook viewer is the best way.
