 ### Jupyter notebook, the language-agnostic evolution of IPython notebook
-Jupyter notebook is the language-agnostic HTML notebook application for
-Project Jupyter. In 2015, Jupyter notebook was released as part of
-The Big Split™ of the IPython codebase. IPython 3 was the last major monolithic
-release containing both language-agnostic code, such as the *IPython notebook*,
-and language specific code, such as the *IPython kernel for Python*. As
-computing spans many languages, Project Jupyter will continue to develop the
