IPython
IPython is the historical parent of Jupyter Notebook and continues to exist as the reference Python kernel for the Jupyter Notebook. IPython also includes a parallel computing framework (ipyparallel), interactive widgets for the Jupyter Notebook (ipywidgets) and base utilities for building reactive applications in Python (traitlets). |

Julia
Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for technical computing, with syntax that is familiar to users of other technical computing environments. It provides a sophisticated compiler, distributed parallel execution, numerical accuracy, and an extensive mathematical function library. The library, largely written in Julia itself, also integrates mature, best-of-breed C and Fortran libraries for linear algebra, random number generation, signal processing, and string processing. In addition, the Julia developer community is contributing a number of external packagesthrough Julia’s built-in package manager at a rapid pace. IJulia, a collaboration between the IPython and Julia communities, provides a powerful browser-based graphical notebook interface to Julia. Julia programs are organized around multiple dispatch; by defining functions and overloading them for different combinations of argument types, which can also be user-defined. For a more in-depth discussion of the rationale and advantages of Julia over other systems, see the following highlights or read the introduction in the online manual. |

NumPy
NumPy is the fundamental package needed for scientific computing with Python. Besides its obvious scientific uses, NumPy can also be used as an efficient multi-dimensional container of generic data. Arbitrary data-types can be defined. This allows NumPy to seamlessly and speedily integrate with a wide variety of databases. |

Project Jupyter
Project Jupyter is an open source project that offers a set of tools for interactive and exploratory computing. These tools support reproducible and collaborative scientific computing and data science across a wide range of programming languages (Python, Julia, R, etc.). The main application offered by Project Jupyter is the Jupyter Notebook, a web-based interactive computing platform that allows users to author computational narratives that combine live code, equations, narrative text, interactive user interfaces and other rich media. These documents provide a complete record of a computation that can be converted to a number of formats (HTML, PDF, etc.) and shared with others through email, Dropbox, GitHub and the Jupyter Notebook Viewer. |

Software Carpentry
Our mission is to help scientists be more productive by teaching them basic computing skills. Our approach combines short, intensive workshops with self-paced online instruction. The benefits are more reliable results and higher productivity: a day a week is common, and a ten-fold improvement isn’t rare. For more information check out our blog at http://software-carpentry.org/blog/, follow us on twitter as @swcarpentry, or contact us by email at [email protected]. |

Stan
Stan is a probabilistic programming language for data analysis, enabling automatic inference for a large class of statistical models. It features full Bayesian inference with Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling, approximate Bayesian inference with variational inference and the Laplace approximation, and penalized maximum likelihood estimation with optimization. The language integrates a Math Library written in C++, which can act as a stand-alone, and features derivatives for arithmetic, special functions, probability functions, and linear algebra. Stan has interfaces for R, Python, Julia, MATLAB, Stata, and the command-line. For more details, see the online documentation, which includes the manual and several hundred model examples. |
