AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the desire to add more math symbols as 'smilies' to the forum, highlighting the absence of certain symbols that users wish to incorporate into their posts.

Users are encouraged to propose additional smilies and symbols, and there is mention of a collection of public-domain GIF symbols that could be utilized. The overall aim is to enhance the forum's expressive capabilities with more mathematical and symbolic options.

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
