This repository holds the example notebooks referenced from the CHEME 5660 textbook. In addition, the notebooks used in the lab section are also available here.

The example notebooks used in lecture, and referenced from the book, are written using the Pluto notebook package and use the Julia programming language.

Julia is open source, free and runs on all major operating systems and platforms. To install Julia and Pluto please check out the tutorial for MIT 18.S191/6.S083/22.S092 course from Fall 2020.

1. Install Julia (we are using v1.8, but future versions of Julia should also work)
2. Install Pluto.jl
3. Clone this repo:

   git clone https://github.com/varnerlab/CHEME-5660-Markets-Mayhem-Example-Notebooks

4. From the Julia REPL (julia), run Pluto (a web browser window will pop-up):

   julia> using Pluto
   julia> Pluto.run()

   Or you can simply type the following in a terminal:

   julia -E "using Pluto; Pluto.run()"

5. From Pluto, open one of the .jl notebook files located in the CHEME-5660-Markets-Mayhem-Example-Notebooks/pluto-notebooks/ directory—enjoy!

The labs are provided as Jupyter notebooks; you can find the installation instruction for installing Jupyter here. For the labs, we use Julia as our Jupyter notebook kernel; this requires the installation of the IJulia package.

To install IJulia from the Julia REPL press the ] key to enter pkg mode and the issue the command:

add IJulia

This will install the IJulia package. If you already have Python/Jupyter installed on your machine, this process will also install a kernel specification that tells Jupyter how to launch Julia so we can use it in the notebook. You can then launch the Jupyter notebook server the usual way by running jupyter notebook in the terminal.
