Ecosystem of scientific computing packages
------------------------------------------

Julia has a rich and rapidly expanding ecosystem of packages for scientific computing
in many scientific domains. In many cases developers of individual packages join forces
to create mutually compatible and supporting packages organized under a common GitHub
organization. The following list can be of some help in navigating the ecosystem.
