AI Thread Summary
After completing "Think Python," a user seeks guidance on advancing their Python skills, particularly for applications in physics, emphasizing the need for simulations and computational techniques. They suggest that understanding physics concepts is crucial before diving deeper into programming applications. Recommendations for further study include courses or self-study in numerical analysis, which is essential for developing computational skills in physics. Several resources are shared, including links to relevant books and online courses that focus on numerical methods and physics simulations, highlighting the importance of integrating programming with physics education for effective learning and application.

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.

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
