DESCRIPTION:Whilst the majority of Universities have pivoted increasingly t
 o Python as the primary (and in some cases\, only) teaching language for U
 ndergraduate Physics\, there are compelling reasons to introduce Julia as 
 a target language.\nThis is not without precedent: Engineering departments
  in multiple countries (Germany\, USA...) have used Julia as a teaching la
 nguage for some years\, due to the ease of porting mathematical expression
 s to it\, and its similarity to MATLAB.\nI discuss the motivations for doi
 ng so in Physics\, and some experiences of introducing Julia in a structur
 ed way to undergraduate students at the University of Glasgow (although no
 t in a formal course).
