I prefer thought experiments to absolute values. I am TERRIBLE at math (several seizures decimated my ability in that arena) but love science, and want to gather up my remaining braincells and learn what I can. I'm an enthusiastic conversant and even more enthusiastic about thinking in general. Obligatory introduction terminated.

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.
