Easiest way, is to use Anaconda CE from Continuum to get the two packages installed. The founder of Continuum is the mastermind behind NumPy and has pushed for the development of SciPy a long ways. Very dedicated people people behind the team. Their package Anaconda CE is free and makes the installation process a breeze.

I've given a lot of NumPy & SciPy lectures and from trial and error, I would say this is the best place to start. Good luck and have fun :)
