Abstract: In this workshop we will introduce Jupyter notebooks for teaching and learning across the arts and humanities. We demonstrate the notebooks use with R and Python computing languages through classroom tasks that involve ideas from mathematics, design, statistics, computer vision, and animation. Participants with little or no background in programming or experienced educators interested in the new technology of interactive computing will find this workshop of interest. The activities come direct from the classroom experiences in non-traditional undergraduate mathematics classes. The content and pedagogy surrounding the activities are meant to engage students from a variety of academic disciplines and interests. ...
