ASTR 513: Computation and Statistical Methods

This is a Jupyter Book for University of Arizona's ASTR 513: Computational and Statistical Methods for Astrophysics, taught in Fall 2024. It covers the "computation" part of the course.

Usage

Running Chapter of the Book as Jupyter Notebook

To edit the materials locally as Jupyter Notebooks, simply use Jupytext to create a pair notebook:

jupytext --sync [chapter].md

All changed made the notebook will be automatically synced to the MyST markdown file.

Building the book

If you'd like to develop and/or build the ASTR 513 book, you should:

1. Clone this repository
2. Run pip install -r requirements.txt (it is recommended you do this within a virtual environment)
3. (Optional) Edit the books source files located in the docs/ directory
4. Run jupyter-book clean docs/ to remove any existing builds
5. Run jupyter-book build docs/

A fully-rendered HTML version of the book will be built in docs/_build/html/.

Hosting the book

Please see the Jupyter Book documentation to discover options for deploying a book online using services such as GitHub, GitLab, or Netlify.

For GitHub and GitLab deployment specifically, the cookiecutter-jupyter-book includes templates for, and information about, optional continuous integration (CI) workflow files to help easily and automatically deploy books online with GitHub or GitLab. For example, if you chose github for the include_ci cookiecutter option, your book template was created with a GitHub actions workflow file that, once pushed to GitHub, automatically renders and pushes your book to the gh-pages branch of your repo and hosts it on GitHub Pages when a push or pull request is made to the main branch.
