Commit ipython notebooks to repo

It sure would be helpful to have the iPython notebooks committed to the repo. Would that be possible?

ipynb - Notebook only good with 16GB plus memory

I would hardly load. Then do nothing after it loaded. I used 4GB. The Notebook, on a higher memory computer it worked fine. On 4GB it CHUGGED hard, but worked in nteract notebook. Large notebooks should be broken into chapters if the creator really meant them to be used.

trace_function decorator doesn't properly show the arguments

As presented, the trace_function

def trace_function(f):
    """Add tracing before and after a function"""
    def new_f(*args):
        """The decorated function."""
        print('Called {}({!r})'.format(f, *args))
        result = f(*args)
        print('Returning', result)
        return result
    return new_f

if __name__ == '__main__':
    def add(a, b):
        return a + b

    traced_add = trace_function(add)
    traced_add(2, 3)

only prints the first argument:

Called <function add at 0x7fe633b77950>(2)
Returning 5

By changing the first print line to look like:

        print('Called {}{!r}'.format(f, args))

then it will print all of the arguments:

Called <function add at 0x7f509a9c7950>(2, 3)
Returning 5

ipython notebook doesn't load in wakari

I'm beginning your o'reilly safaribooks video course, and downloaded the ipython notebook from this
repository. Since I currently don't have an ipython notebook installation on my local machine, I thought
I'd use the notebook on the free level of wakari.

After uploading the notebook to wakari, and opening it, an alert window opens 'Error loading notebook -- bad request` occurs.

Any idea why this might be happening or how to fix this?
