Enthusiastic Physics Learner

How did you find PF?

Google search led me to this forums.

I am retired with a scientific background in Mathematics and Physics though I quit Academia after graduation. Recently, my interest has revived and I have started to review what I knew before and learn new stuff. My interests are in Physics and Mathematical Physics. I hope I can find answers to some of my questions here and perhaps in the future, I can also answers some questions.

How have I arrived here? During the past two months, I have been doing some online research to find the best possible books for self-studying on various topics in Physics and Mathematics. Google search has sometimes led me to this forum. So finally, I have decided to become a member too so that I can post my questions.

Comparing to the times when I was a student things have certainly changed. In most topics, there are now many more options regarding the available textbooks for reading. Sometimes, this can be overwhelming.

There are also bona fide undergraduate lectures online. MIT, for example, has a whole range - and not just physics and maths.

Thanks for the tips. I'll look into them.
