Hillert Materials Modeling Tutorial series III: Julia for scientific computing

Julia is a free and open-source programming language especially well suited for scientific computing. It was first released in 2012 and reached version 1.0 in 2018.

This tutorial will take a pragmatic look at using Julia for scientific computing. It will compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of Julia to other languages like Fortran and Python. The goal is to give the audience a high-level understanding of areas where Julia can be a particularly effective tool.
