This book aims to show that Julia is an accessible, intuitive, and highly efficient base language with speed that exceeds R and Python. Authors Paul D. McNicholas and Peter Tait get readers up to speed on key features of the Julia language and illustrate its facilities for data science and machine learning work. Using well known data science methods, the book shows what makes Julia a formidable language for data science.
