Recently, a fast and robust method of calculation of the Zernike polynomials and their derivatives in Cartesian coordinates was published. It was really easy to translate the published pseudo-code in Julia. The implementation appeared to be indeed very fast, so I could not resist to play with some visualisations.
Windows 10 offers a friendly way to instal and use Linux system (the so-called WSL). Quite unexpectedly, Julia runs faster in WSL. You can check it yourself following the steps in this short tutorial.
A small presentation describing my personal experience with *General Programming* in Julia. For a mathematician, it is sometimes difficult to get started with programming abstract concepts, which you can so clearly describe on paper. I heard that …
