Hello everyone,

I'm currently an investment banker but in undergrad I was really interested in mathematics.
I took most of my school's real analysis, complex analysis, algebra and number theory courses, but alas the lure of financial stability pulled me away from graduate school in mathematics.

So, in an effort to continue my education I find myself working through pure mathematics books!

Which sounds really lame...but that's okay!

Thread 'Just an enthusiast!'

Hello fellow Physics enthusiasts, I am an aeronautical engineering graduate (Bachelor's) who is interested in Physics and Mathematics, and I have been re-learning all the basics. I wanted to join a science forum, especially one dedicated to Physics and maths, to apply these subjects to my engineering studies. I hope to learn a lot through this forum. Thank you for your warm welcome.

Hello! I am a recent graduate with a Bachelors of Science with a major in Mathematics and a minor in physics! I initially wanted to pursue advanced study in mathematics but taking some physics classes in my undergrad ignited an interest in physics for me! I am really interested in Particle and Nuclear Physics and hope to pursue a graduate study in said area some time in the future! Nice to meet everyone! I am happy to talk about physics with you all!
