Phil, I found Haskell to be a pretty steep slope at first too, but it helped me to start out small and work my way up. And now its my favorite tool in the arsenal!
One of the steps I took was to do quite a few of the Project Euler ( http://projecteuler.net/) problems, and then after cobbling together my own solution (sometimes with small peeks at the Project Euler Haskell Solutions (http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Euler_problems)) I could see all the other Haskell solutions in the forums. As far as scientific style programming goes, I liked this tutorial which walks you through an entire program including a section on simulated annealing: http://www.lisperati.com/haskell/. <http://www.lisperati.com/haskell/>In the large, I really liked this haskell-cafe response by Jonathan in regards to complete programs in Haskell: http://www.mail-archive.com/haskell-cafe@haskell.org/msg85374.html . -- Jason M.
