Programming Basics for a Physics Major

College Majors
1

<p>I’m a sophomore physics major. I consider myself computer savvy but I’ve never had a reason to study programming until I became interested in physics. So I have some simple questions:

  1. How can I learn how to program? What language should I start with? I have a Mac, if that matters.
  2. What languages should I be familiar with by the time I graduate?
    I know this isn’t really on the topic of college admissions, but you’re a good crowd to ask. Thanks!</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m in the exact same situation, but I think the Engineering forum would probably be a better forum in which to ask.</p>
