I am retired (disability) and simply enthralled with physics despite having an appalling lack of maths.
I have worked extensively with severely disturbed children, as a sessional lecturer in Child and Youth Care, and as a manager of technology personnel for a major financial institution. There are surprising overlaps across those fields!

So hopefully you won't mind me peering over your virtual shoulders and listening in on those discussions I can follow.

Welcome. I had to chuckle at your saying there is overlap between working with disturbed children and managing IT folks. I've noticed the very same thing a number of times :smile:

Hello everyone, I'm Cosmo. I'm an 18 years old student majoring in physics. I found this forum cause I was searching on Google if it's common for physics student to feel like they're in the wrong major in the first semester cause it feels like too much for me to learn the materials even the ones that are considered as "basic math" or "basic physics", I've initial fascination with the universe's mysteries and it disconnect with the reality of intense, foundational mathematics courses required...
