Hello,
I'm currently 15 and in 'high school' year/grade 11 (called fifth form where I study), and have a unquenchable thirst for physics, I'm in the middle of UK GCSEs but have studied much further in physics independently, I'm currently working through 'Problems and Solutions in Introductory Mechanics ' by David Morin (2014), and am finding it fun as well as challenging. I look forward to learning a lot from this forum and occasionally asking for help for particularly demanding problems which I may encounter and simply not be able to figure out after many repeated attempts.

Thank you for reading,
Dan

Hi Dan and welcome. Let me know if you need textbook or subject recomendations, or just need help with a problem. I'd be glad to help.
 
Thanks megatyler, but we are set up for members to seek help in the appropriate forums, not privately. You can always offer suggestions in forum threads. :)
 
Sorry about that then. And I will and do offer suggestions in forum :)

No problem, just don't want other new members to think that private assistance is encouraged. :)
 
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...
