AI Thread Summary
There is a suggestion to create a sub-forum for statistical mathematics, probability, and business math within the physics and math help forum. While these topics are not traditionally viewed as "science-related," they are still considered mathematics and warrant discussion. The existing Set Theory, Logic, Probability & Statistics section may already cover these areas. Business math is primarily based on algebra, calculus, probability, and statistics, which are already included in the forum's offerings. The discussion highlights the need for clarity on what is covered in the current sections.

Considering that this is a physics and math help forum, I believe that admin should add a sub-forum for statistical mathematics, probability, and/or mathematics for business. Although they aren't "conventional" science-related maths, they are maths nonetheless, and i think that they are deserving of a subforum. Hopefully someone will agree with me. thanx

That would certainly be one of them.

Student007, "business math" is not a different kind of math. It simply entails algebra, calculus, probability, and statistics. We have sections to discuss all of those. To my knowledge the only quantitative business subject that isn't covered by our math section is accounting. But then again, accounting isn't math. (although if you ask nicely you might get someone to discuss accounting in our Social Sciences Forum, which would include economics).
 
Thanx guys...I guess i missed that subforum
 

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
