I've seen a lot of people making introductions and since I'll probably be here for a while, I might as well do the same.

I'm a second year student at the University of Toronto doing a specialist (honors) program in Mathematics and Physics. I'll probably need a lot of help from here, since I'm just getting to the "main" parts of physics and math (e.g. complex analysis, quantum mechanics advanced etc).

Welcome to Physics Forums.
I am sure you will get a lot of help from here. Good luck to your program :D

By the way, what is your favourite fish?
 
Welcome to the forum. Introductions are optional here, as you may have noticed. It's not a social forum but the folks are very friendly. Well, most are. I'm not :smile:

Thanks. That's actually one of the reasons I like this forum. It is mainly focused on science, but some discussions do happen, unlike SE.
 
Welcome, Rocket50! I hope you like it here.

What a beautiful fish! Here's your official welcome, featuring said fish:
