| Abstract for Research Report |
Julia is a new programming language developed at MIT, released in 2018 as an open-source scientific language. It combines the high speed of Fortran with the high productivity of Python, making it a language that can solve both small and large-scale problems in a wide range of fields, including beyond mathematics and physics, such as in machine learning and quantum computing. Despite efforts to promote technological development using Julia in the industrial sector, there are still concerns about switching to a new language, especially in Japan, making it difficult to spread its use widely. To address this, our workshop will discuss examples of Julia's use and utilization, including its application in basic sciences and industry. We will also discuss examples of visualization, numerical solutions to differential equations, algebraic calculations in computational number theory, and applications and implementations in statistics and machine learning to provide a platform for mutual inspiration and discussion across various mathematical fields. We will also provide a platform for discussing the challenges and solutions related to promoting and utilizing Julia in the industrial sector. We will also provide sufficient time for tutorial lectures to encourage the participation of researchers (including graduate students) interested in Julia but who have yet to enter the field. Through these efforts, our goal is to build a human network that transcends fields, establish the foundation for industry-academia collaboration, and promote the long-term utilization of Julia. |
