If you enjoyed this, you will also enjoy the IPython Interactive Computation and Visualization Cookbook by Cyrille Rossant. It's a bit long in the tooth now (as you can guess by the title referencing IPython rather than Jupyter) but almost everything in it will work seamlessly, and it covers a lot of ground.



Yes, while the first edition was published in 2014 and the second in 2018, most recipes in chapters 7-15 should still work fine with current versions of Python/NumPy/Jupyter etc. They illustrate generic methods in numerical computing and they are not tied to a specific version of Python packages. Most recipes are freely available on the website indicated above.

I don't think that this adds anything to the discussion. If it's necessary to complain about Jupyter's name, the place to do that is surely where Jupyter development is being discussed, which is not here. Otherwise, as with all HN things, if you don't like this, then just move on. What's the use of downplaying what someone else found interesting?

(Besides which, it's explicitly pedagogical, and you can never overestimate the importance of having students do anything actively on their own, even if it's well understood by people with existing knowledge. Because (a) what a specialist thinks is well known probably isn't, and (b) the whole reason they're students is that they don't even know the things that really are well known yet.)
