+* Outline
+  + Retrieving ipython history 
+  + Viewing a part of the history 
+  + Saving (relevant) parts of the history to a file
+  + Running a script from within ipython 
+* Question 1
+  Read through the documentation of ~%hist~ and find out how to list
+  all the commands between 5 and 10
+* Solution 1
+  #+begin_src python
+    In []: %hist 5 10
+  #+end_src
+* Question 2
+  Change the label on y-axis to "y" and save the lines of code
+  accordingly
+* Solution 2
+  #+begin_src python
+    In []: ylabel("y")
+    In []: %save /home/fossee/example_plot.py 1 3-6 10
+  #+end_src
+* Question 3
+  Use =%hist= and =%save= and create a script that has show in it and
+  run it to produce and show the plot.
+
+* Solution 3
+  #+begin_src python
+    In []: %hist 20
+        
+    In []: %save /home/fossee/show_included.py 1 3-6 8 10 13
+    In []: %run -i /home/fossee/show_included.py
+  #+end_src
+* Question 4
+  Run the script without using the -i option. Do you find any
+  difference?
+* Solution 4
+  We see that it raises ~NameError~ saying the name ~linspace~ is not
+  found.
+* Summary
+  + Retreiving history using =%hist= command
+  + Vieweing only a part of history by passing an argument to %hist
+  + Saving the required lines of code in required order using %save
+  + Using %run -i command to run the saved script
+
+* Thank you!
