IPython¶

Alternate core engine to Sage. Pros: runs on all three platforms, natively renders PDFs the way we like, has a powerful and user friendly GUI for editing. Cons: GUI is a web notebook which requires users to have a local server running, may be missing some features we like from Sage (TBD).
