How do I get started with programming for scientific simulations?

Science programming python scientific computing

AI Summary

I'm a physics major and I've been interested in learning how to program for scientific simulations, but I'm not sure where to start. I've taken a few introductory programming courses, but they were more focused on general programming concepts rather than scientific computing. I've heard that languages like Python and Fortran are commonly used in scientific simulations, but I'm not sure which one would be best for me to learn.

I've been looking into different libraries and frameworks, such as NumPy and SciPy, but I'm overwhelmed by the amount of information out there. I'm also not sure what kind of projects I should be working on to get a feel for scientific programming. I've been trying to find online resources and tutorials, but I'm having trouble finding ones that are geared towards beginners.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has experience with programming for scientific simulations. Can you recommend any good resources for learning Python or Fortran for scientific computing? Are there any specific projects or exercises that you would suggest I work on to get started?
