Hello everyone! I found this forum after developing a self-study plan for classical field theory in preparation to developing a self-study plan for quantum field theory (these will probably be my main contributions to the forum as I learn). I currently teach high school physics (AP1, AP2, & honors) in Phoenix, AZ and have taught Calculus 1, 2, and AP Physics C as well as a smattering of other math classes in the past. I enjoy reading (fantasy, science fiction, and historical fiction), powerlifting, chess, time with my wife and kids, various tabletop RPG's, and trail running in my free time. Current self-study topics are complex analysis, Arabic, and creative writing.
