Greetings.
I think I may have joined this forum quite some time ago, however I cannot remember the email address I used nor the username or password - so I just joined again (or maybe not?) with this account, using a username that I have on 2 other science forums.
Anyway, I am 18 (nearly 19) years old and am studying Physics at degree level at the University of Birmingham (UK - Russell Group and Red Brick Uni) which I am very much enjoying - I'm in my first year.
My main interests within Physics are Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Cosmology, Particle Physics to name a few (QM being my favourite I think). And my interests within Mathematics are Calculus, Vectors, Complex Analysis, Group Theory again to name a few.
I recognise a few members here (such as iNow, Ophiolite and DrRocket) from other science forums, and so I hope that I shall enjoy my time on here.
what's a good programming language to learn?
in Computer Science
C++ is good for beginners. But MATLAB is my current favourite - it's a high level computing language which is very nice to use and very satisfying to program with, also it can be used in conjunction with Simulink to create both simple and advanced models for physics, climate, biology, economics etc... All in all, MATLAB is a good choice for many different people with varying goals (and especially good for physicists and mathematicians).
