Abstract: Introducing elementary concepts of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) to a beginner can be challenging. Using an interactive graphical platform can greatly aid in demonstrating key concepts in such cases. This paper aims to bridge this gap in teaching basic NMR spectroscopy through simple standalone interactive Python programs or a Jupyter notebook, supplementing traditional theoretical approaches. These scripts allow the beginner with basic knowledge of quantum mechanics to grasp important concepts like precession, nutation, laboratory and rotating frames, on- and off-resonance RF-pulses through user input, and graphical and terminal output of results.
