I'm starting a physics program in Germany this winter. Which coding languages—beyond Python and C—have you found most valuable for data analysis and overall programming skills?
hey ava, i found r and matlab to be quite useful for data analisis in certain projects. also been curious about julia - any experiences with that? it’s cool to see how different languages help suit various needs.
In addition to Python and C, using languages such as R and MATLAB has proven beneficial in data analysis and simulation experiments. In my experience, R offers extensive libraries for statistical analysis, while MATLAB is versatile in handling large-scale mathematical computations. I have also found Julia to be a promising tool due to its rapid computation speed and ease of integration with other tools. Choosing the appropriate language depends largely on the specific project requirements and your familiarity with the device, which has broadened my perspective on solving different types of problems.
