Once upon a time long, long ago, I was a physicist. More precisely, I received my PhD from the University of North Carolina for my work in Feynman Path Integrals, circa 1970. Subsequently, I became HoD at a South African university in computer science.

I have been retired for some 20 years. I am now active in numismatics (www.SouthAfricanMedals.com) but I still dabble around in physics and maths. For example, I really enjoy the Two Envelope Paradox. For amusement, I compose cartoons for the in-house magazine of my old-folks home, an example of my warped humour is attached.

Welcome to PF, Michael. :smile:
 
Hi, my name is Andrea. I’m 60 years old and have developed an interest in Quantum Physics and Quantum Computing. I enjoy algebra (will be doing more math courses when I finish algebra.). I have two grown children who I am very proud of. My daughter is expecting her first child in March! I’m gonna be a Mimi! I also love animals.
