What is Introduction: Definition and 789 Discussions
In an essay, article, or book, an introduction (also known as a prolegomenon) is a beginning section which states the purpose and goals of the following writing. This is generally followed by the body and conclusion.
The introduction typically describes the scope of the document and gives the brief explanation or summary of the document. It may also explain certain elements that are important to the essay if explanations are not part of the main text. The readers can have an idea about the following text before they actually start reading it.
ln technical writing, the introduction typically includes one or more standard subsections: abstract or summary, preface, acknowledgments, and foreword. Alternatively, the section labeled introduction itself may be a brief section found side-by-side with abstract, foreword, etc. (rather than containing them). In this case the set of sections that come before the body of the book are known as the front matter. When the book is divided into numbered chapters, by convention the introduction and any other front-matter sections are unnumbered and precede chapter 1.
Keeping the concept of the introduction the same, different documents have different styles to introduce the written text. For example, the introduction of a Functional Specification consists of information that the whole document is yet to explain. If a Userguide is written, the introduction is about the product. In a report, the introduction gives a summary about the report contents.
I'm a student in high school. I used to dream of being an astrophysicist, but my passion for music production and songwriting became far greater, and that's my current ambition and dream. I still find physics sorta fun though, so here I am!
Hello, I am new to this website and just don't get everything yet (like attempt to a solution). I'm in the third grade of highschool and this is my first year of having physics as a apart subject.
hello everyone,
I'm a new member. This is my first time using a forum. I'm in my final year of university. I have joined this forum to connect with fellow physics enthusiasts, learn from your experiences, and contribute to some meaningful discussions. I'm excited to be here.
I am OKWUCHI Peter Joseph and I'm a citizen of Nigeria. I look forward to gaining knowledge and also contribute immensely to the growth of the community.
Hi, PF
Integration by parts is pointed out this way:
Suppose that ##U(x)## and ##V(x)## are two differentiable functions. According to the Product Rule,
$$\displaystyle\frac{d}{dx}\big(U(x)V(x)\big)=U(x)\displaystyle\frac{dV}{dx}+V(x)\displaystyle\frac{dU}{dx}$$
Integrating both sides of...
I saw it was a responsive group and knew it would be helpful. No money to buy textbooks for formulas and Google is often maddeningly unhelpful or worse, misleading.
Thanks in advance for your patience as I have ZERO formal education in the subject of physics and very little in engineering...
TL;DR Summary: I would like to be involved in the physics community.
Hello, my name is Joshua, I am a multidisciplinary artist and i have a big interest in engaging in conversations about theoretical physics to get a better understanding and also to apply into my art. My experience is pretty...
As I was asked to say hello, here I am. I am not a scientist, did work in finance, suspect it is like a dog chasing its tail and that the next century is the right one to be a life scientist and the next thousand years is the right time frame to be a physicist.
Hello everyone, let me introduce myself, I'm new here. I have a few questions about semiconductor devices and was looking for a physics forum and found this site.
I hope to find answers to my questions and help others if I can.

I am a public high school math teacher who connects relevant physics facts to the maths students are studying. I hope PF will provide grist for my mill.
I'll be starting Apostol's calculus book in a little less than two weeks, as I'm finishing up an easier textbook. I looked ahead and I see that there is a four part introduction, and I was wondering if I could just skip that. I briefly skimmed it, and it just looks like a review of summation...
Started a Physics Degree at QMC in London 1 in 1978 but swapped to an English Degree in Canterbury in 1979.
Mostly an accountant these days but been a mini video-producer, hairdresser, worked at BT.
I have my Raspberry Pi but not yet into programming.

Hi everyone, my name is Pohar Buragohain . I am a 1st undergraduate student in B.Sc. Physics . I am from North-east India. So I am new here hoping this website to help in my academics.
Hi all. Started a conversation with Chat GPT about the big bang, C, gravity, time, thought experiments and other things that I mull over in my brain every few months and it suggested I talk to someone that's actually studied some of the things I asked about especially as things change...
Salaam alaikum,
I'm Sanaa.
I have joined this forum to enjoy my experience learning online completely. I study on an online learning platform and I decided to engage more digitally by joining this forum.
I feel very impressed by the work and content of this forum. I look forward to studying more...
How did you find PF?: Science article link about the Universe being twice as old by an Ottawa physicist.
Hi people, I am unsure about what the requirements are for posting to this forum, but upon posting a basic comment on an article I was given an almost unimaginable list of requirements and...
My name is Les and in 1977 I began studying Physics at Texas A&M university, After four years, I decided a career in Physics was not for me. Since then Ihave been working as an Engineer.
I'm supposed to enter a valid message so here we go.
I'm a girl obv and very much interested in physics. Found this platform on google and thought it might help me quench my thirst of ever growing curiosities.
Yea, that's it pretty much
looking for answers to a problem I had while building my final year project prototypes that uses a 12v dc motor on a Google link that brought me to this forum
Came across this forum wanted to state first I have no background in physics but have been reading through a lot of these articles and would like to learn more. I just posted a thread on a question I had about materials that passthrough IR. Looking forward to seeing more posts with individuals...
I'm a teenager eager to learn more about math and physics. As a self-directed learner, I'm particularly interested in calculus and linear algebra. I'm thrilled to be part of this community and look forward to gaining knowledge and engaging in enriching discussions. Your expertise and insights...
Hello, I don't have much to say at the moment, I just signed up on a recommendation from HN and thought I'd give it a try. I'm probably mostly here to lurk and read older stuff, but I figured it was worth making an account and introducing myself.
Hello! I am Logan, I am a student and i like chemistry! I came here because I was searching for an answer for a reaction I did but found nothing elsewhere.
Hi, new member here. I'm a fiction writer and could use a bit of help in writing scenes based on real science. It's harder to make something up that clearly defies the laws of physics. Looking forward to dive into the forums. I'll try not to pester you with stupid questions, but please forgive...
Hello everyone!
My name is Psyklon and I work as a full-stack developer at my job. In my free time, I mostly generate things on my computer like fractals, cellular automata, and various other generative arts.
Since I first read about fractals I was fasciated by them, so I started to dive...
