Python is a modern, robust, high level programming language. It is very easy to pick up even if you are completely new to programming.
Mac OS X and Linux comes pre installed with python. Windows users can download python.
To install IPython run,
$ pip install ipython[all]
This will install all the necessary dependencies for the notebook, qtconsole, tests etc.
Installing all the necessary libraries might prove troublesome. Anaconda and Canopy comes pre packaged with all the necessary python libraries and also IPython.
Download Anaconda
Anaconda is completely free and includes more than 300 python packages. Both python 2.7 and 3.4 options are available.

Click the big green "Clone or download" button in the top right of the page, then click "Download ZIP".

Extract the ZIP and open it. Unfortunately I don't have any more specific instructions because how exactly this is done depends on which operating system you run.
-
Launch ipython notebook from the folder which contains the notebooks. Open each one of them
Cell > All Output > Clear
This will clear all the outputs and now you can understand each statement and learn interactively.
If you have git and you know how to use it, you can also clone the repository instead of downloading a zip and extracting it. An advantage with doing it this way is that you don't need to download the whole tutorial again to get the latest version of it, all you need to do is to pull with git and run ipython notebook again.
