Hi all,

Yes. In the sciences, numerical methods and simulation
are especially important.

do i need a basic knowledge
of programing or a deeper knowledge of programing.

The more different kinds of programming you do, the
better off you'll probably be. A course in basic computer
science would probably be helpful to show you the
kinds of concepts that they work with, even if you
don't go that direction.

And learn a few different programming languages. You
may start off in a job that requires C, the next project
might require C++, the one after that Java. You can't
learn every language that might come along, but you
should learn how to learn languages.

Also, you probably want to get used to Unix.
