"If you're just learning how to program Julia is an excellent JIT-compiled, dynamically typed language with a clean syntax. This hands-on guide uses Julia 1.0 to walk you through programming one step at a time, beginning with basic programming concepts before moving on to more advanced capabilities, such as creating new types and multiple dispatch. Designed from the beginning for high performance, Julia is a general-purpose language ideal for not only numerical analysis and computational science but also web programming and scripting. Through exercises in each chapter, you'll try out programming concepts as you learn them. "Think Julia" is perfect for students at the high school or college level as well as self-learners and professionals who need to learn programing basics."--From publisher.
