      "It turned out that the hard part of doing the translation to IPython Notebook was figuring out how to load the required JavaScript libraries.  Being an off-and-on JavaScript programmer who is ramping up on the way to writing JavaScript properly in 2014, I was still living in the world of adding a `<script>` to load libraries. The problem of such an approach is the possibility of a lot of name collisions.   I knew that the IPython developers had moved to using [RequireJS](http://requirejs.org/), but I really couldn't figure out how to use it by reading the documentation for RequireJS.  \n",

In contrast, using `$.getScript` on [v 3.2.2 of d3.js](https://github.com/mbostock/d3/blob/v3.2.2/d3.js#L1) results in a `d3` defined a global (window) object, thus one that is available to all cells in the Notebook without any other action."
