While at it pick up Julia, another MIT product.
esp for applied math it's invaluable compared with python or matlab.
Juno is a nice ide, it's gotten a lot better over the last two months.
- hsikka 8y agoI've been meaning to invest some time into learning Julia. I'll definitely try my hand soon
- sn9 8y agoThe newest iteration of 18.06 [0] is using this textbook [1] that incorporates usage of Julia in a companion book.

- sus_007 8y agoWow, I didn't know these resources existed. It's gonna help me a lot as I'm on a similar journey as the OP. Thank you very much, sn9
- bigred100 8y agoWhy is Julia better than MATLAB or Python? Most applied mathematicians I know are in MATLAB all the time.
- adamnemecek 8y agoI mean julia is much younger. The main strengths are that it's open source, it's a much nicer language, you can actually ship things in it (good luck doing that in matlab), package manager, etc etc. Matlab is legit not great.
- bigred100 8y agoAh ok. The reason I like MATLAB is cause I want a “numerical experiment” and I don’t want to have to learn a lot to get it to run
- adamnemecek 8y agoCheck julia. Its not unlike matlab.
