Computer programming & software development

Learn to use Julia as a tool for research, and solve problems of genuine interest-like modeling the course of a pandemic-in this practical, hands-on introduction to the language.

The Julia programming language can be used to write all types of applications, but its features are especially powerful for numerical analysis and computational science. This comprehensive introduction to the language shows you exactly how to take advantage of Julia's particular strengths, apply them to real-world problems, and write effective programs.

You'll be guided step-by-step through the syntax and then move on to using Julia to create efficient applications for use in fields such as biology, physics, math, statistics, and scientific machine learning. Not only will you develop the Julia knowledge needed for solving computational problems, but you'll also learn how to explore and visualize data, solve equations, write simulations, and create libraries. Additional online resources include ready-to-run code samples, illustrations, and supplemental animations.

Reviews for Practical Julia: A Hands-On Introduction for Scientific Minds

"""This is a nice deep dive that covers a lot of ground, from the basics on how to define arrays and use the type system all the way to biochemical modeling and scientific machine learning. Lee gives a very nice in-depth treatment, showing not only the most standard ways to do things, but also some different library options along with a good explanation of the pros and cons to the choices. I think this is a great book for any Julia user's shelf."" —Christopher Rackauckas, Applied Mathematics Instructor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology"
