These are notes written in Julia for the computational economics reading group. The notes can be found in the notebooks folder.
There are probably many errors, all of which are my own. It is safe to say that everything is a work in progress 🚧
- Floating point arithmetic -- Complete

We will probably not cover all topics during the year, but this is a first run. Future iterations will have more complete notes and include more topics.
Several resources were used in constructing these notes. I relied a lot on code from other people in setting up these notes. Below are links to some of the repositories, books and websites that I found helpful in trying to make sense of it all. These are not presented in any particular order.
