Julia: There are a variety of ways of using Julia:
https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/mth229/229-projects/master (no persistent storage).
You can log in to the lab machines remotely (possible persistent storage if you save files to your network drive). When you log in, you need to choose the specialized lab 1S-108, as this is the only one with julia installed.
Install docker on your computer.
docker run -p 8888:8888 jverzani/mth229-juliawill run a docker image with julia (non-persistent).on linux, if you have a directory called ~/work then
docker run -v ~/work:/home/jovyan/work -p 8888:8888 jverzani/mth229-juliawill make the directory accessible from julia, so you can save things there.
julia is freely available so you can attempt to install it on your own machine. You will have to manually download the projects, instructions here.
Projects: There are 10 projects due in webworks.
The answers for each project shoudl be submitted via webworks. The easiest thing to do is probably just go to the webworks problems that you are working on and click on the binder link, this will launch a copy of julia in a browser window for you.
If you have a very slow internet connection, or want persistent storage, try one of the other methods for running julia.
You will sometimes need to upload pdfs of your written work to the webworks website. You may use a scanner, or your phone:
If the resulting file size is too big, try one of the following:
