Hello, my name is Brennan Riddell. I am going to be studying Mechanical Engineering and Physics (dual major) at the University of Louisville in about a month or so, and I am incredibly excited. I have always loved learning new things, and tinkering with projects, so I feel it is a perfect fit. Having just finished 10 years of sliding by and not trying hard, I am ready for some rigor and discipline in my studies.

Outside of school, I am a street/flatland unicyclist, a road cyclist, musician (I play classical saxophone, the banjo, and piano), and recently have begun working with some programming and OpenGL rendering. I love to tinker with engineering projects; I helped my uncle build a CNC router, worked on some giant electromagnet shoes (nearly done), and such. It is a passion of mine, but perhaps it is better to say that it is a part of me and how I look at the world. I like to see things in a quantitative and analytical way, regardless of how much I know about the concepts that govern them. That is to say, I don't know much physics. However, I love and appreciate that this community fosters curiosity and can help those of us just starting on our journey into understanding the universe and everything it has to offer.

Thank you for such a great community, and thank you for having me!
-Brennan Riddell

Hello everyone, I'm Cosmo. I'm an 18 years old student majoring in physics. I found this forum cause I was searching on Google if it's common for physics student to feel like they're in the wrong major in the first semester cause it feels like too much for me to learn the materials even the ones that are considered as "basic math" or "basic physics", I've initial fascination with the universe's mysteries and it disconnect with the reality of intense, foundational mathematics courses required...
Hello everyone, I'm AlexR, a passionate physics enthusiast from Wisconsin, USA. I've been fascinated by the wonders of the universe for as long as I can remember, and I'm excited to join this community to deepen my understanding and engage in insightful discussions. Background: I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Physics, and my journey into physics began during my academic years. Over time, my interest has expanded to various areas, including: Classical Mechanics: Exploring the foundational...
