I started university in physics and math, but moved to mathematical economics when I got interested in business. I worked for 35 years in banking, auditing, accounting and corporate finance until being volunteered to retire early. Along the way, I completed a graduate certificate in applied statistics and data analysis. I am comfortable programming in VBA, R and VB. I may learn C# when I have time.

Now that I am retired, I can spend time investing and studying math and science. My math interests include number theory (prime numbers), operations research, applied statistics, computer programming, and applied math in general. My science interests include astronomy, orbital mechanics, fluid dynamics, physics and general chemistry. Basically a jack of all trades and a master of none.

Welcome to PF, Statsman, from a fellow Torontonian, and from someone with a similar handle, and related or similar profession (I'm currently working as a statistician).
 
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...
