Chapter Chapter 1 in Algorithms with JULIA, 2022, pp 3-15 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides a first introduction to the Julia language. A brief historic overview of programming languages is given, which is important to understand the dichotomy between static programming languages such as Fortran and dynamic languages such as Lisp as well as their uses. Then an overview of Julia discusses some important design choices and major attributes of the language as well as why and how it is useful and meets today’s requirements. Finally, we learn how to start Julia, how to interact with it, how to run Julia programs, and how to install packages. Finally, various development environments are presented, and commands for accessing help and documentation from within the Julia system itself are explained.
