JuliaWorkshop19
Note: This workshop is somewhat outdated. You might want to check out one of my newer workshops.
An intermediate Julia workshop for undergraduate/graduate physicists which took place in fall 2019 at the University of Cologne. Although the course is building upon CompPhys-2019 only rudimentary Julia knowledge should be required to follow along.
Julia v1.2 (+ IJulia/Jupyter) installation instructions are available (in german) here:
The instructions from the MIT math department, julia-mit, might be useful as well.
Teacher: Carsten Bauer
Feel free to contact me if you are interested in having me hold a similar workshop at your institution.
