Welcome to the PF.

Questions need to be asked in the main forums, and not in the New Member Introductions forum. And all schoolwork-type questions need to be asked in the Homework Help forums, where you fill out the HH Template that you are provided when starting a new thread there. Be sure to fill out the section with your Attempt at a Solution -- we do not do student's homework for them here.

Thread 'Just an enthusiast!'

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.
