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 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.
