Without wasting your time oh ye gurus my name is eric i am an ss3 stdnt, i just finished my NECO so i will be home for a while... I love mathematics a lot, so some1 reffered my to projecteuler.net, bt to my total disappointment i was only gonna b able 2 solve d problems by a kind of programming: and i again seeked help as at which language to learn as a 'jjc' (knw absolutely nothing) in programming, then i was told python or php... I here by request of oh ye kind hearted gurus to assist my in a step by step procedure in any or both of d afore mentioned languages. Ehm....

tried d website bt kept on getting an error messsage...
Tnx

No. Reason being I'm not into programming.

You can post your problems in this same section.

If you are going into web application programming i.e website design, start with HTML, CSS, Javascript, Bootstrap... It's not advisable for you to jump to PHP just like that. Just follow the course modules on w3schooos and you will never go astray.


The Cyberspace needs you bro.

Tnx

It's perfectly working at my own end, could be browser issue.

You can start with Java, and yea can ask for help cause that's my specialty

tnk u sir, i will alwayss remeber u for dis vital vital aid.... Hope u will still be on nairaland when i write my 1st program

Of course, I'm always a mention away.

Pls dnt get bored with me cos am a newbie, i have another problem.....







If i wanna develop a kindda program or whatsoever dat can help me do some mathematical computations...
Better still, my facebook i.d is ..Dice Dachung..

Thanks Alot

My guy, if you want to learn a programming language specifically to solve as many mathematical problems as possible, then your best bet is either Python, MATLAB, or Mathematica.

Python may be the most preferred because it is free, open-source, and has a vast range of publicly available mathematical and statistical libraries. Some of the Python libraries that would be valuable to you for mathematical or "scientific computing" are Scipy, Numpy, and Matplotlib. Python is also extremely versatile as you can also use it for back-end web programming and more.

MATLAB is an application that provides an environment to write code that can be used to solve mathematical problems. The code syntax is similar to simplified versions of java/python. MATLAB has a large range of mathematical and statistical libraries, but the catch is that it is expensive and is not open-source. Some people go around this illegally though. If it were free, I would say you should go with this.

Mathematica can be used for mathematical and scientific applications, though it is not a programming language. It shares the drawback of not being open-source and costly. Unlike MATLAB and Python, Mathematica can be used easily to "symbolically" solve (or manipulate) mathematical expressions and equations. For instance, you could use it simplify and factorize equations and so forth. You could also use it for statistical/numerical problems but Python and MATLAB are better for those scenarios.

My Recommendation:
Use Python because it is free, has a lot of libraries online, and can also be used for back-end web programming if in the future you decide to look for a side job in that area. A close second option would be Mathematica, which would also be excellent to have.

Let me know if you have any more questions. I have used all these tools.

PS: I deliberately didn't list C++ or C or Java because it would be too much of a pain to use them for scientific computing unless your mathematical problems require extreme computational speed in which case C or C++ would be best. PHP or Javascript are best for web design not mathematical/scientific computing.

Cheers.

do u have some e.books on python...

First, you need to install Python; this link gives the step by step instructions. There are two Python versions, versions 2.x and 3.x. You should install the latest 3.x.x version.

Next you need to install an IDE (Integrated Development Environment, like a text editor) for the coding; alternatively, you could code from the command line console but this is messy.

A good IDE to use is Spyder (for math/scientific computing applications). To get it, go here (make sure you download the Python 3.4 version NOT the Python 2.7 version) and follow the instructions. From that link, you will install Anaconda, which contains Spyder IDE and mathematical/scientific libraries such as Numpy, Matplotlib, and SciPy.

Here is a YouTube playlist on Python with Spyder.

Next, you should google "matplotlib tutorial" or "numpy tutorial" or "scipy tutorial" to learn how to use python to do math operations.
A great resource for learning Python in general is the main Python webpage. Click on the "Tutorial" link in the page and you can start learning. (

Welcome to the world of mathematical and scientific computing! Let me know how things go.
