Julia Cheatsheet

This document provides a cheat sheet for using Julia and IJulia for numerical computing. It outlines basics like how to start IJulia and execute code cells. It also summarizes key functions for arithmetic, defining variables, vectors, matrices, and common linear algebra and mathematical operations. Finally, it lists functions for generating random numbers, plotting, and saving figures.
