Jupyter notebooks are a widely used tool for coding in Python and Julia, but they don't always work well with version control software like Git. Research Software Engineer Jonny Taylor investigates a solution.

Are you interested in using the Julia programming language for your project? Would you like to discuss this with other users? A new group has just been launched to bring interested parties together.

Mark Lundie, Research Infrastructure Engineer in Research IT, helped Dave Topping’s research group to use Julia on the CSF – a move that could benefit many researchers across the University.

The Manchester SIAM-IMA Student Chapter is proud to host the first Julia workshop in the UK, taking place on 19-20th September 2016 at the University of Manchester. This two-day workshop consists of six plenary talks and two practical sessions led by core Julia contributors. The workshop aims to explain what Julia is, how to use it and how it is used in areas such as optimisation, natural language processing, statistics, materials science and computational biology.
