Hi. Iām a finance professor at Rice University. I teach MBA students, PhD students, and Masters of Data Science students. I use Julius to some extent in all of my classes, but I use it primarily in a course called AI-Assisted Financial Analysis that I created in Spring 2024. We use Julius in place of Excel or alongside Excel for some traditional finance topics (capital budgeting, mean-variance optimization), and we also use Julius for some things that are not traditionally finance topics but which are now within the reach of MBA students, including building Streamlit apps to produce financial analyses and some things about AI in general (e.g., ask Julius to write code to make an API call to OpenAI or to create a RAG tool). I started a blog to discuss some of the things I learned using Julius for the course (kerryback.substack.com). I look forward to hearing how other people are using Julius in education.
