/sci/ - Science & Math

[blog]
A few years ago, I sucked at math; just like every other joe. But after I started learning programming (I started with C, moved to C++) I noticed that it became easier for me to understand mathematical concepts and use them like a tool. Since then my math-skills improved exponentially.

However, today, after writing a big math-exam I noticed that my math skills still aren't good enough to satisfy my ambitions.

That being said, I want to improve and sharpen my math-skills the way I improved them in the first place: by learning a programming language and solving mathematical problems with it.

By "math-skills" I mean:

>Calculus
>Algebra
>Arithmetik
>Statistic
>Vector Algebra/Calculus

Which is the best language for this?
Haskell?
Sheme?
Python with SciPy stack? (I am used to matplotlib, that would be an easy intro for me)

Do you know some good ressources like books, journales or websites that teach math through programming?

tl;dr: ITT we find good ways to learn math through programming
