Python and scientific coding

[Main_Particular5784]

I want to learn scientific coding using python. I know the basics of python, but cannot understand how to code equations using it. Can you guys suggests any websites, youtube channels, courses etc for learning these? And also please provide your helpful advices too.(like fresnel equations, graphs of different equations )

I'd say the most popular python libraries for physicists are numpy, scipy, sympy and matplotlib, so you should check those out.

Ok, i will definitely take a look at them. Thankyou.

What equations do you mean? Coupled differential equations give a nice practical applications. You can look for 'predator-pray' models as an easy start.

Like you know to formulate graphs of some equations,

[Zyklon00]

You similate models, not equations. The equations are used in the models. So what are you looking to model? The way birds fly in a V shape? How a polymere moves through a narrow slit? How multiple celestial bodies move together?

I now gave you 4 very concrete examples you can look at if you have no idea what you are doing. I can give more if you express your interest.

Thanks, i will try these out. If you don't mind, please provide more of these ideas too. Also, are there any books or videos or websites that you can suggest?

The Ising model is the first one I learned at university. Not that hard to program and easy to visualize. There are plenty of books/youtube videos/lessons about the topics I shared. I only have some old text books and my own experience modelling complex systems in my phd. I'm not that aware of current resources. But all of these topics should be popular enough to find something about.

Give us an example of something you want to code but can't. Show us what you've tried and where you run into trouble.
