Hello everyone, I've recently found myself missing the days of php based internet forums, long-text formats with a good culture and personality. It sounds ridiculously corny to make personal introductions as a newcomer but I guess it's a breath of fresh air to have to write one in today's very...

hi all I am an Engineer with a PhD in Information Engineering with a great passion for physics.

I am talking about university level. There is lots of genius physicist/engineers who were bad in math. If mathematics is the language of physics how this is even possible? Do math and physics need different type of "intuition" or "solving methods" of how to explain this paradox?

Hope to participate in discussions and find answers about certain topics like anti water hammer design.

I got to this thread: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/complete-set-of-answers-to-schaums-tensor-calculus.346972/ but it is locked, otherwise I would have added to it. I'm now retired, was a software engineer but I studied maths and physics at University. I'd like to get what might be...
