What is Introduction: Definition and 813 Discussions
In an essay, article, or book, an introduction (also known as a prolegomenon) is a beginning section which states the purpose and goals of the following writing. This is generally followed by the body and conclusion.
The introduction typically describes the scope of the document and gives the brief explanation or summary of the document. It may also explain certain elements that are important to the essay if explanations are not part of the main text. The readers can have an idea about the following text before they actually start reading it.
ln technical writing, the introduction typically includes one or more standard subsections: abstract or summary, preface, acknowledgments, and foreword. Alternatively, the section labeled introduction itself may be a brief section found side-by-side with abstract, foreword, etc. (rather than containing them). In this case the set of sections that come before the body of the book are known as the front matter. When the book is divided into numbered chapters, by convention the introduction and any other front-matter sections are unnumbered and precede chapter 1.
Keeping the concept of the introduction the same, different documents have different styles to introduce the written text. For example, the introduction of a Functional Specification consists of information that the whole document is yet to explain. If a Userguide is written, the introduction is about the product. In a report, the introduction gives a summary about the report contents.
Hey everyone I'm new here. I have a BS in Soil Science and a minor in Hydrology. I've worked in government and academia and am currently a part of a start up.
Just wondering, in everyone's opinion, is the moderating here heavy handed?
I am not sure what is meant by "detail and support material". I will offer this about myself. I am probably the most ill-equipped person from a classically trained/educated student of physics perspective to be of much help to anyone. I am 73 years old and the last physics course I took was in...
Hi! I am happy to join this great community. I'm Haia, 24 y/o and own Masters degree in Physics. I would love to have friendly and proffesional conversations! :)
The reason why I have registered in this forum is because I want to ask questions about a gravitational system... well that is... soon I will post some questions, thank you
Hi, My name is Ali
I graduated from university in Sep 2022, with a degree in physics and minor in mathematics.
I am now working as a middle school science teacher, which is not how I would like to introduce myself as, but here we are teaching kids about the mitochondria.
anyways, I still want...
After years of using the forum to validate my work or to get new insights in solving problems when I'm stuck, I have decided to be a member to be on the other side and try and participate in answering questions. I hope to see the rest of you in other threads.
See you soon.
Hello everyone!
My name is Amman, and I'm thrilled to join this vibrant community. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share a bit about my background, interests, and what I hope to gain from being here.
Background
I hail from a small village in Pakistan, a place that holds a...
Pretty much as it says on the tin under "How did you find PF?"; not much else to add. Saw an article on Alaska's rivers turning orange with the leaching out of minerals from the permafrost, though I don't recall where I spotted it first...it may have been on Weather.com.
Hi everyone, I've been visiting the forum for years. It can always surprise me when it has the answer or at least a discussion for my highly speculative or daydreaming scenarios (by far the favourite: external scramjet aerospike engine). And this time after I've searched for hours and found...
Hello,
I'm Logan Monday, and today was the first time I've ever visited this forum website before. It seems like a great platform, and a very knowledgeable community, so I couldn't help, but join in with it myself. I love science in general, but I'm very passionate about Computer Science...
Hello, I am Zeesan from Bangladesh . Being 19 Y/O , I am going to be admitted into Dhaka University , ( Most probably in Nuclear Engineering Department) . I was primarily interested in Physics, but I was afraid to get admitted into Pure physics department due to bad review, and little career...
Hi my name is Arif Jamal. I am 23 years old. I am currently doing my bachelor's degree in geography from Varanasi. My aim is to learn physics. Because physics fascinate me very much. While looking up in the sky and nature I keep wondering about the natural phenomenon working behind every thing...
My name is Tom. I'm a 50 year old student in an online Civil Engineering program at the University of North Dakota. I currently work as a Project Engineer at a land development firm. I started this degree around 10 years ago, and had to stop due to health reasons. I'm currently finishing up my...
Hi everyone. I am a new member. I found this forum while surfing the internet for homework solutions and decided to register to strengthen my knowledge. Cheers!
I am currently a junior (soon to be senior) undergraduate physics major and decided to join the physics forums because I have already gotten a good amount of help and understanding just by perusing past conversations without an account, and because I know that physics is not a subject easily...
Hello,
I am Derek. Physics has always interested me since childhood. How does the TV work? How the Ceiling Fan work? All these questions have always puzzled in my childhood. To seek these, I have wandered a lot which led me to the physics. Despite being a med student, the love for physics has...
Just joined - hello. I already posted some stuff in other boards but I noticed that the mods want new users to introduce themselves first. Better late than never. I like a couple of topics that are pretty intertwined with physics, and I am taking a lot of physics and math classes, so its pretty...
Hello
My name is Gerardo , Im from Texas, Im an Electro Mechanical Engineer. Saw this cool forum and I wanted to join. Please to meet all of you and lets be friends.
Hello, fellow innovators and seekers of knowledge! I'm an avid thinker of energy solutions, constantly on the quest to unravel the mysteries of power in its purest forms. My journey is fueled by a boundless curiosity and a deep-seated belief in the potential of human ingenuity to forge paths...
"I'm excited to join this community and share my passion for physics. In this post, I'll provide a brief introduction to myself, my background in physics, and my areas of interest. I'll also include any relevant supporting material or experiences to enrich the discussion."
Hey! I'm currently an undergrad student, gonna be switching majors/ starting fresh with physics next year(which is something I've always wanted to do)
Also I'm turning 18 on may 12th this year wish me lol
Glad to be here. Hoping to make really cool friends and contribute in a good bunch of...
Hi everybody I am Jamal from Atlanta. I am currently a student at the faculty of Industrial Technology, it's my second year. I came across your forum several before when I was preparing for the exams and just decided that it would be a good idea to finally join it and become a full member. Nice...
