This is not a problem, however, %%ipython is not listed on my cell magic list (%lsmagic) but when I type %%ipython I don't get an error! </div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">print numpy.__version__, prints 1.7.1 </div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">print scipy.__version__, prints 0.13.0</div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">and </div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">print matplotlib.__version__, gives me an error unless I import matplotlib (I don't know if that is a problem or not!)</div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><br></div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">But the main issue is that I don't get a plot of sin wave, instead when I type (plot(x, sin(x)) I get an error saying that plot is not defined!</div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><br></div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">Also, I am using windows.</div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><br></div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">Can you please help me out here, I am planning to study astrophysics and I really need/want to be good at programming.</div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;"><br></div><div style="line-height: 21px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 15px;">Thank you,</div><div><br></div> </div></body>
