What to do after basic programming (Think Python)

Headacheguy

I had finished Think Python, an introductory book on programming using python.

I'm a physics major. So I'd probably need simulations and computational skills. I tried searching Google for intermediate python books, found nothing.

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Learning physics seems like the obvious idea to me. At least up to the point where you get an idea what you need "simulations and computational skills" for.

I'd recommend taking courses or self study in numerical analysis.
