Who Are You People? Intelligent & Advanced Answers

[omg precal]

I've been helped two or three times on this forum with extremely intelligent replyers that brushed off my questions with ease. I've looked through the sub-forums such as Quantum Physics (WOW, that is some ADVANCED stuff!). Just wondering, are you guys scientists? Professors? College students? Because you're all crazy smart...

 

[cristo]

There's a mix of people on this forum, ranging from high school students to undergraduate students, grad students, lecturers and professors, as well as professionals in fields such as engineering and other people just generally interested in science.

 

[omg precal]

that is awesome. i think I am going to join this forum later in life (if its still alive)

 

[rocomath]

there are 15 yr olds in here wanting to learn Calculus ... lol

i'm 22, i just started liking Math ...

 

[cristo]

Well, you could do that, or you could just stay and visit when you have free time. The forum really benefits from users with different levels of expertise. You never know, you may find it useful if you need help with any other questions, and any help you give other students will be much appreciated!

 

[omg precal]

yeah... this is one of the best and most useful forums I've ever visited... and the people are nice.

There are some 15 year olds on here that are all ready pretty proficient in it XD

Just visit the forums whenever you get a chance. There's a lot to learn. I don't know much at all but I still like to help people out where I can (mainly pre-calc/beginner physics). I mean just from helping others and answering peoples questions you start to get a much deeper understanding of topics you thought you knew pretty well. My point is is that if you have an interest in math/physics there is a lot to learn here.

Here, here!

This is a very valid point. In order to learn physics or maths, one needs to "do" it. An even better way of understanding or refreshing one's memory is to help other people. That's why helping people here is a benefit to the helper as well as the helpee.

Welcome, omg precal. We have tons of people of all ages and levels of experience here, and we welcome them all. You'll might find some topics that are over your head, but plenty more that are just right for you to help someone else out. We think that's the mark of a well-structured forum!

I'm 27 and in the same boat. It's tough now to decide what to sudy when I transfer..physics, math, engineering...all...now that I am older, that is. I tend to lean too much on reason than on blind faith that it will work out. I'll be 50 by the time I decide on a career.

i'm quite happy how things worked out. i didn't have a stable family, so i got the maturity part of the way before i took most of my important undergraduate courses.

i do feel behind tho, but there's nothing i can do about it so I'm just enjoying learning. my motto is ... with the right attitude and vision, you can make it anywhere! lol, we'll see tho. i have only one more yr till i transfer (hopefully)!

Who are you talking about Feldoh?

XD, there are many GOSU here.

Hope one day I (currently a noob) can help others instead of always being helped.

what does GOSU stand for / mean?

[uiulic]

I think you have got it,xd.

The opposite term of gosu is : noob=chobo=newbie.

 

[moose]

I'm just a freshmen in college majoring in physics. We have people from all over the spectrum.

damn I'm getting old ... haha

makes no sense to me.

I can't see it going away any time soon; it's growing every day. And you've already joined, or you wouldn't be able to post. Becoming a contributor is a different matter, but it's not compulsory.

edit: I just realized that I never answered the original question. 51-year-old high-school dropout.

 

[chaoseverlasting]

Ive just joined college 3 weeks ago... some of the people here are really really knowledgeable... the kind of professional help you would have trouble finding if you tried and they're all ready to help you out... this place is amazing...

 

[ank_gl]

hey, nice chaos, so which one you finally got into?? DCE??

 

[silver-rose]

gosu/hasu/chobo...lol someone plays games too much t_T;

 

[Alkatran]

The forum has a lot of smart people who like physics, which attracts... other people who like physics. They just happen to be good at it.

 

[JasonRox]

yeah... this is one of the best and most useful forums I've ever visited... and the people are nice.

The thing I like most is the various characters we have here and the distinct life experiences the members have. When it comes to advice and practical wisdom, there are a variety of people to hear from.

 

[scorpa]

I'm a university student in medical lab science...so my knowledge of physics and calculus is in my opinion rather dismal, although I do find it interesting. I joined this forum back in high school when I needed help on homework and then decided I liked it here so I just never left.

 

[Danger]

But, Scorpa, my dear... there are not a lot of people here with your knowledge. Physicists and mathematicians and engineers are a dime a dozen on PF (no offense intended to those who fall into those categories), probably because the name of the site attracts them. Your area of biology is fascinating, although I have some trouble absorbing it. You and Moonbear and Adrenaline and DocToxin are pretty much the entire biological expertise here. We who are not educated in the field very much appreciate it.

This is a good point danger. Our few and far between biology experts are invaluable to this site.

Yeah, like, what's a zygote?

 

[Evo]

Don't forget Monique and Ian Smith, they're getting their PHD's so are rather busy right now, but they're still around.

I'm a 13-year-old student currently enrolled in multivariable calculus and light and heat.

That's a good one. I might have to test that out on a class sometime (though, maybe I'll save it for geeky grad students who are already predisposed to laughing at bad science-geek jokes and won't mistake it for the serious answer...I'm just too afraid if I unleash that in a freshman bio class, I'll see that answer on an exam ).

scorpa, remember to share this site with your classmates! We could use more people with an interest in biology/medicine around here.

I'm a headhunter. I hook up out-of-work Soviet scientists with rouge, third world nations.

Now that I'm married, I only have a nickel to my name... so I'll take a six-pack.
Evo, thanks for pointing out my omission. I had forgotten that Monique was involved in that area, and Ian posts on so many subjects that I never really knew what his specialty was.

Thanks Danger, I'm showing this to my wife as soon as I get home.
