I really enjoyed the first week, and it has been a good motivation to start to learn Julia.

Grant Sanderson's (aka 3blue1brown) lesson on convolutions [1] was simply excellent. Can't wait to see upcoming lessons. Really amazing that MIT is publishing these in parallel to the live course.

Yes! 3blue1brown has an amazing youtube channel:

After watching his videos, I don't want to watch anyone else explain anything technical anymore.


Note that the Pluto notebooks are not yet posted, but will be after the assignments are due.


Is there a site where you can run Pluto notebooks rather than running them locally?


They directly run on Binder. This link is from the Pluto homepage:

Not that I am aware of. We are working towards that possibility on JuliaHub.com, but nothing soon. I should point out that installing Julia and Pluto locally should take at best a matter of minutes and no fuss.


Locally is often an iPad. That’s why I asked.


I was impressed by his ability to still use explanatory animations during the live lecture. That seems very hard to pull off so seamlessly.


I could not find a syllabus.


the github page only gives this info:

Topics include:

- Image analysis

- Particle dynamics and ray tracing

- Epidemic propagation

- Climate modeling
