I'm quite new...
Everything posted here looks so uni-level. Any high school students?

It depends where you visit.

The homework section "Introductory Physics" has a lot of high school stuff.

When questions get asked else where, they can quickly get into a lot of detail and go above just being a high school question.

Your response will also be tailored to your level and abilities if you make them clear, and ask a clear question. People want to help you here, not just talk over your head, but if they do, just ask for an explanation that you can understand. You might be surprised how quickly you begin to no longer need that...

I started using this site when I was in high school. It helped me learn and be a lot more willing to learn :)

I have learned that there are people here that can explain Quantum Mechanics to my cat and have her understand it, and then there are people that make me feel like the cat when they explain it.

Are you in a superposition of understanding and not understanding?

I am. I usually ask questions that are either irrelevant to my school course and I cannot ask from the school teachers or I think might be stupid to ask. And most of my questions have been given answers that I understand completely.

And thus I return!


I'm struck that this forum ranges from reaching out to HS'ers, to professionals in their respective fields. If the old adage about being able to teach is true, it's a testament to the brain trust that exists here.

Hmmm, not a commerce student here, but don't worry, he was joking around.


The pic is Alucard from 'Hellsing', so definitely in the same vein.

Ooooh... Ouch...

On another topic, I wonder where the OP is.

Hello Luitzen, it's a pleasure to meet you as well.

@Char: I would have to agree with that, but don't forget debonaire! :wink:

@Fit: Niiiiice emoticon.

I have to admit, I wonder where the OP is too, but hopefully this was of some interest.

Ahh it's good to know that there are students here that are at my level. It's pretty awsome that there are people who are highly experienced in one or more areas contributing in this forum.

The regular kind I expect although some may be extraordinary. It's hard to tell only been here a week, I've not seen extraordinary anywhere yet, I'll let you know if I do.

Yes I did read the OP. :wink:

Hello all! I'm new here, from Malaysia. Just so you're wondering where it is located, it's somewhere around South East Asia, above Singapore and below Thailand. I'm a college student studying Cambridge A-Levels now by the way! :)

It's alright I'm not from the US we learn geography over here. We tend to know a lot about areas especially when they areas we once owned in our more colonialistic past. :wink:

I know low blow to the Yanks, but come on George Iraq! I know they share 3 letters but! :tongue:

And good for you!

I'm a "mature" student studying maths & physics p/t AAMOI.
