Principal lecturer: Dr Markus Kuhn
Taken by: Part II CST
Term: Michaelmas
Hours: 2
Format: In-person lectures
Moodle, timetable
Aims
Introduction to two widely-used languages for typesetting dissertations and scientific publications, for prototyping numerical algorithms and to visualize results.
Lectures
- LATEX. Workflow example, syntax, typesetting conventions, non-ASCII characters, document structure, packages, mathematical typesetting, graphics and figures, cross references, build tools.
- Julia. Tools for technical computing and visualization. The Array type and its operators, 2D/3D plotting, functions and methods, notebooks, packages, vectorized audio demonstration.
Objectives
Students should be able to avoid the most common LATEX mistakes, to prototype simple image and signal-processing algorithms in Julia, and to visualize the results.
