How did you find PF?
Google searches for homework questions, looks similar to Physics SE (but more homework-friendly?)
Hello! I am currently in the first year of the IB diploma programme (i.e. 11th grade). I've made attempts to self-study physics before but was sufficiently confused by mechanics to make the rest seem intimidating. I'm wading through Spivak's Calculus and Halliday et al.'s Fundamentals of Physics at the moment.

Welcome to the forum.
 
I'm going through almost the exact same experience, damn. Mechanics was super confusing, I particularly disliked the projectile motion part.
 

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.

Thread 'Introduction'

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!
