Exploring the Intersection of Math and Science in Retirement: A Personal Journey

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).
 
I’m a retired ex physicist I guess. Although I have a first degree in theoretical physics and did post graduate studies ( structural phase transitions in strontium Titanate, I did not pursue a career in physics. However it has always been my first love. Since retiring I’ve been interested in quantum computing and quantum mechanics
