How did you find PF?
Used it ages ago while doing math and physics in undergrad
Hi everyone!

I'm a data scientist in the defence industry who works primarily on spatiotemporal forecasting. I have a bachelor's degree in math and physics, buuuuut I 'learned' things in the worst way possible - by pretty much rote memorising how to solve problems rather than developing any kind of understanding. It got me a degree, but years later I realize I don't actually know as much math or physics as I'd like to.

To redeem myself, I've enrolled into a master's degree where I'll be doing some math coursework followed by a thesis (currently interested in differential geometry, but the thesis is still 2 years away as I'm only studying part-time). I'm halfway through the first semester and am really enjoying taking the time to try and understand things. I look forward to sharing this journey with you all and hope that some of your knowledge and wisdom will rub off on me. :)

Welcome to PF; it's good to have you here. :smile:
 
Hello everyone, I was advised to join this community while seeking guidance on how to navigate the academic world as an independent researcher. My name is Omar, and I'm based in Groningen The Netherlands. My formal physics education ended after high school, but I have dedicated the last several years to developing a theoretical framework from first principles. My work focuses on a topological field theory (which I call Swirl-String Theory) that models particles as knotted vortex...
