I am a retired high school and college teacher doing independent study in physics. I am interested in cosmology and information mechanics, a unified theory that derives gravity, quantum mechanics and more from an elegant new conceptual foundation in which the information represented by physical systems is fundamental. See https://bdagostino.com/resources/Analog 1979 IM review.pdf for more on this topic. The link is to a review of Frederick W. Kantor's old but neglected book Information Mechanics (1977), published by John Wiley and Sons.

I am a political scientist by training and at this stage of my study in physics I am working my way through parts of Richard Wolfson's and Jay Pasachoff's college textbook, Physics, Third Edition. I am using Maple to help with the exercises and Frank Wang's book Physics With Maple. My main reason for joining PhysicsForums is to get help with exercises when I get stuck.
