This is my formal introduction, I guess. My name is Alex. I'm currently attending a CC here in S. Florida. I'm undecided as far as my major goes, but, as far as I can remember, I've loved numbers. So, it's going to be something math related.

I'm ecstatic to have found these forums as my math skills need to be worked on and, to be honest, I can't stop thinking about it. Even while I am sitting here at work, I find some time to look at some things that I need to work on here and there.

I expect to learn a lot from you guys. Don't let me down!

Fish? As a delicacy? Or just like in general?

BTW, I'm always stuck bored at work and I can always use some help with math. I always have a bunch of questions...

If you don't mind, shoot me a message once in a while on MSN.

No, instead, I'll smack you in the face with a sardine.

You are now properly a member of PF after the standard fish-slapping ceremony all newbies go through. :smile:
 
Welcome to PF, thakid87. I'm sure there will be other members in the queue to deliver some extra fish slapping on top of that from arildno!
 
Haha. I didn't see that coming.

Welcome aboard, Thakid.
I can't handle math myself, but there certainly others here who will give you a run for your money.
