It seems like this course is on the bleeding edge of high-quality education -- the use of Julia as the programming language of choice, Discord for communication, and most importantly 3Blue1Brown as an instructor. Good to see that innovation isn't dead in academia.

And Pluto notebooks are amazing in this educational context. With Jupyter notebooks I always wondered, why not just use the REPL? But Pluto's reactivity brings something new to the table. And being able to easily add UI elements like sliders bound to variables is something that you can't do in Jupyter.
You should buy an old mac from 1984 and put Mathematica 1.0 on it and your mind will really be blown :-)
