How did you find PF?

Hello,

Retired "member of the technical staff", with a B Sc in Physics. Worked in aerospace and defense for 31 years (4 US Navy, 27 at various contractors). Mechanic for most of my pre-baccalaureate employment. Sneaked in a bit of unemployment in the early '90s when peace broke out, and taught high school physics and math for a couple of years, then got back to engineering until retirement, at age 62. Work included isotope separation, spacecraft antennas, low observables, and mechanical design. Also worked in missile defense systems. Weird, huh? Physics people can work in many disciplines.

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.
