HW0 + Julia Video Walkthrough

Getting Started

All the homeworks are distributed as Jupyter notebooks. Follow these instructions to get everything set up.

1. Install Julia. Download v1.6.7 from the Julia website. From here you can follow these platform specific instructions to get started.
2. Clone this repo and put it wherever you want.
3. Start a Julia REPL in your terminal using julia, or the location to the Julia binaries. If this doesn't work, make sure you followed the platform specific instructions.
4. Install the IJulia using the Julia package manager. In the REPL, enter the package manager using ], then enter add IJulia to add it to your system path.
5. In the REPL (hit backspace to exit the package manager), enter using IJulia
6. Launch the notebook using notebook() or jupyterlab()

HW Instructions

Fill out Q1.ipynb and Q2.ipynb.

Submission Instructions

Feel free to use any method you'd like to export your Jupyter notebook as a PDF (with all the cell outputs shown) and submit on gradescope.

HTML to PDF (Recommended)

We recommend this method of converting your Jupyter notebook to a PDF because it requires no additional installs (hopefully). It's slightly involved, but it is the most consistent in our experience.

1. Open the Jupyter notebook in your favorite web browser (not VS Code) with IJulia.
2. Make sure all cell outputs are shown including plots and unit tests' results.
3. In the top left corner of the Jupyter menu bar, do File -> Save and Export Notebook As -> HTML. It should download an HTML file.
4. Open the downloaded HTML file in your favorite web browser.
5. Open up the browser's print menu and select Save as PDF.
6. Save PDF and submit on gradescope.
