Teaching Statistics to the Masses with Julia

For several years, Julia has been used as a tool of choice for several specialized courses around the globe. However, with V1.0 still in the works, using it as a teaching tool for massive (service) statistics courses bears some risks. Nevertheless, in a second year engineer statistics course, taught to a student body involving 500 students, we have used Julia and JuliaBox for two years consecutively. Through this experience, we have also developed an array of elementary to intermediate coding examples, each presenting a different aspect of probability, statistics, and the Julia language.
