Hey everyone, my name is Rob Picard, I'm a 16 year old high school student with a mind for math and physics. I'm planning to go for a major in Physics when I head off to college in 2011, and I'm taking a Physics class my senior year, so I figured this would be a good place to get started.

I've also been trying my hand at PHP programming lately, which I guess isn't too far of a stretch from math and physics.

I look forward to having some people to discuss ideas and theories with, and I really can't wait to check out the library.

'Sup. I'm 17 y.o. high school student. I've also got a keen interest for math and physics, though my interests in physiology takes priority and I'm pretty set on a medicine eductation.

I'm a newcomer myself, but welcome. This is a really great place if you're interested in sciences of all kinds.
 
Welcome to PF, RPicard! This is a great resource for discussing physics. Hope that you enjoy yourself. :smile:

Can I get you a Q-tip swab, Tubba?
 
No thanks, I don't think anything less than acetone will do for this.

Hey Rob, be welcome. I'd be happy to discuss PHP with you any time. And fish cookies? Can I safely assume you don't eat those with milk?
