Description
Learn to use Julia as a powerful tool for research and problem-solving in this comprehensive introduction to the language. Practical Julia is designed to make Julia accessible to new programmers, while still providing a thorough guide to its syntax, data types, and best practices.
As you work through the book, you'll discover how to craft solutions for challenges in physics, statistics, biology, mathematics, scientific machine learning, and more. You'll learn to use comprehensions and generators, higher-level functions, array initialization and manipulation, and perform operations on Unicode text.
