Slides & Notebooks


  • The slides below are pdf files. They are used as supporting material in the theoretical sessions.

  • The static notebooks are HTML versions of the (active) notebooks. They can be opened simply by clicking on the link below. We can see their contents on a browser (Chrome, Mozilla, Edge, or any other) and navigate on the HTML file, but we can not change them.

  • The active notebooks and some data files (csv files) are inside a zipped folder that can be downloaded by clicking on the link below. They are used in practical sessions (sometimes in theoretical ones as well).

    • Remember that we have to double-click on the zipped folder to get the original folder with the files.

    • Remember to keep all files in the same folder on your computer (or in the cloud).

    • The active notebooks can not be run by the usual double-clicking. They can only be opened through the Pluto window. So, we have to start Julia, start Pluto, in order to run them.
