Hello everyone, My name is Rick. I am not an engineer nor am I a student. I am simply a hobby maker that does machining, blacksmithing and fabrication using a combination of materials. Typically ferrous metals, wood and stone. I am constantly bumping into areas of knowledge in which I have...

Hi everyone! My daughter is studying A-levels in physics and she is appassionate about it. I have never studied physics (I studied biology) but I'm trying to support my daughter and understand when she talks to me. And to share something with her. So I will be posting my questions here, in...

Hello! I'm in sixth semester of Physics undergrad, I'm looking for a place to talk to other physics students and discuss interesting problems and questions. I'm happy to meet you!

Happy to be here and spread some knowledge! Hoping to learn and teach as much as I can.

When I check biology forum then I found this phsics forum has biology sub forum.

Hello there. I am Diamond Tiara and I am interested in Astronomy and Cosmology. I am also into fictional works involving solar systems and planets.

Hello everyone) I'm new here and happy to be a part of your community)

Well hello everyone, my name is Aaliya, I'm a first year engineering student and I have a passion for astronomy and astrophysics!!

Heyy Guys, I am Rohit Nair, SYBSC physics maths student from st. Xavier's College, Mumbai, India. I have a strong curiosity and thirst to learn and solve maths and physics problems. Currently working under a project on pulsars in TIFR, India's research institute. Also, I am into experimental...

Hello there! I am an MSc student with a focus on particle physics instrumentation. I am still thinking of whether I should pursue a PhD in particle physics or other research topics (materials/semicon related) or moving out of the academia. I am here to seek for advice and hope that I will...

Hey Everyone, I'm a recently new bachelor student in Physics. I'm around my 20's. I'm from switzerland.

I'm currently in high school ,and am a science student. I find physics Interesting I hope to learn more from this amazing physics community. Wish me luck for the future!! 👨‍🔬

I have no tertiary physics or maths training but have developed a rather late interest in physics (and some maths). Never too late to learn, as they say. Anyway, just wanted to say thank you for being part of your community! Luk

I have learned a lot from you and I am now proud to be a member of Physics Forums.

Hi, my name is "Bob" and I like science. I joined this for the amount of wealth of knowledge this site has and/or can provide. A bit about me... I am a science enthusiast and I do daily experiments in my secluded "Lab" (a torn down shed, also a fire hazard) I am mostly self-studied, and being...

Hi!I am new here so it's nice to meet you all and I hope I can live up to your expections :D

Hello, I'm just getting my feet wet in the world of engineering. I'm currently enrolled at Minnesota State College Southeast Technical for Mechanical Drafting & Design. I'm looking forward to being a part of this community. Thanks in advance for all the help and I'll do my best to help...

Greetings, PF Community - Hi there! My name is Bran Wildes, and I originally found this forum by accident, while searching for something else on Google. The result included a question that stood out, and I thought it would be interesting to look at the conversation in its entirety. I got sucked...

My favorite physics textbooks are often concise yet clear, and I thought it might be useful if there were a list of everyone's favorite concise yet clear physics textbooks, specifically introductions to advanced subjects that assume only a solid undergraduate preparation in physics. I will start...

Greetings, I am looking for a accesable introduction to the field of number theory that leads up to primes eulers proof of infinite primes, goldbach proof of inifinite primes and their deriviations(the deriviations are the most important and should be clear if possible) and so on. I have a...

I have been learning QFT for some while now so I intend on giving it a rest and starting a different field. Does anybody know of a good mathematical Introduction to Quantum-biology?Thanks for any help

There were questions in a couple of threads about what books/papers/recorded lectures could serve to give a good introduction to LQG. I gathered some excerpts from Leucippus' posts and want to make a fresh start---trying to understand and to stay more focused on the central problem. In general...

Hey guys, I'm in a proof class right now. We've covered direct proofs and moved on, but I'm still curious about them. Is there any important theorem that has even been derived using a direct proof (assume p to show q) or are they mainly just used to introduce proofs? In class, we only ever...

I took a class on ODEs and have used them in my physics classes fairly often, but I would like a book that I could go back and learn more about differential equations. Tenenbaum and Braun have been suggested but there are quite a lot of books out there, searching has The second part is that...

Hello everyone, Could anyone recommend any good introductions to Electrical Power Systems and Power Engineering? I would be very interested to find out more about the history of why we choose the frequencies we use for power systems. For instance, why is it so important that frequency be...

Hello everyone. I have so many questions. I have started reading the FAQs and that has helped some. I will continue reading so I hope you will cut me some slack if I asked simple, already answered questions... I read that an electron is the same thing as a positron, except they have diferent...

are there any introductions out there which are aimed for physicists? I ask as its really interesting to me however I have very little background in comp sci or EE

I am to produce a research presentation for a class of Masters' physics students on the casimir force, going via a detailed treatment of the vacuum effects in conducting cavities, going on to explain some real phenomena and applications. What I am after is a good introductory text on quantum...
