Welcome to Julia Scientific Programming.
This course is an introduction to programming with Julia.
I will introduce you to Julia programming.
I teach Applied Mathematics at the University of Cape Town.
I do research in Mathematical Biology.
that took days to run.
my code and took the run time down to just a few minutes.
That convinced me of the value of Julia.
head of the Acute Care Surgery Unit at Groote Schuur Hospital.
I introduced Julia to students needing to analyze healthcare data.
stunning plots, which I look forward to introducing to you in week four.
an honors certificate is available.
And I present these Honors lessons in weeks three and four.
easy to learn, a combination I do not see in other languages.
Because of its design, it is also good as a first programming language.
the requirements of high performance numerical and scientific computing.
The best way to start learning Julia is to write code and practice.
start you on the process of writing your own code.
