By using the widgets, we can demonstrate scientific problems and knowledge. Here is a demo to show the sine function with widgets in Jupyter notebook.

• Sine function with widget interact
• Sine function with more advanced widgets

Voila package can render Jupyter notebooks in live with interactive widgets. Through using Voila with Binder, one can create webpage applications.
