How did you find PF?
I've been a lurker for years.
Three more semesters to go and I've decided to focus on differential equations and analysis. Really interested in physics and engineering too. Pure math is a lot of fun and I would totally pursue that if I wasn't concerned with job prospects/being confined to academia.

Any other math nerds who've done work in physics, let me know! I'm interested in learning what you do and why you do it.
