Julia is the successor to Fortran, once the standard high-performance language for science, mathematics, and engineering. It’s powerful and fun to use.

Get a solid foundation with a good book:

Julia is the most significant thing to happen in the field of computational science since Fortran. Start your journey with one of these fine books:

This is pretty amusing. I wrote a book (amzn.to/3YZZB4W) to give Emmy Noether the credit that she has been denied; and I point out that Einstein intended to deny credit to others for GR. Now something that Einstein said is misattributed to Noether.

The response to my #Typst article* suggests that Typst is gaining ground much more rapidly than even I expected:

Tributes at Bryn Mawr College to the brilliant mathematician Emmy Noether, who spent her final years there. Noether revolutionized the methods of modern physics by identifying continuous symmetry groups with conservation laws. The third image is her grave marker.
