I want be able to program algorithms,calculations,simulations...ect
I'm wonder what would be best to learn to do this.
I can't really afford stuff like mathamatica or matlab
so i just want to write this stuff myself.

fortran

You'll need to read some books on numerical analysis first.

any suggestions for books?

What is your mathematical/physics/chemistry background?

very modest to say the least
farthest I've gone mathematically is vector calculus
I know basic physics or engineering principles.

octave is a free matlab clone

use Python

I think C++ is easy enough to beginner.

Pick up a book on OpenGL game design first. Walk away with some experience in program structure and real-time object manipulation. Then learn more math/physics and apply it to that.

>>8 pylab is a great free alternative to Matlab

Pylab only really handles the plotting functionality of matlab, afaik
