# IJulia **IJulia** is a [Julia-language](http://julialang.org/) backend combined with the [Jupyter](http://jupyter.org/) interactive environment (also used by [IPython](http://ipython.org/)). This combination allows you to interact with the Julia language using Jupyter/IPython's powerful [graphical notebook](http://ipython.org/notebook.html), which combines code, formatted text, math, and multimedia in a single document. It also works with [JupyterLab](https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/), a Jupyter-based integrated development environment for notebooks and code. (IJulia notebooks can also be re-used in other Julia code via the [NBInclude](https://github.com/stevengj/NBInclude.jl) package.)
