In summary: I needed it when I was just trying to understand real world physics.ThanksBillLandau is good! Actually I've had the bug since High School but when I decided to go into QFT it almost became a necessity. For reasons I won't go into here I've had to teach myself the whole field of QFT (Weinberg is my current favorite for this) and I've found I needed a heck of a lot of Math just to read it, much...more so than I needed it when I was just trying to understand real world physics.

Hi @Greg,

Perhaps now you make an update in the announcement, since things have been finalized with me (unless there is something else that is needed).

Not that it matters much, but it looks like the featured post didn't change with the edits made to the initial post.

The OP also only has a link to the high school POTW, and not the University or Graduate POTW.

It would be great if the POTW threads could find a place on the right panel. When fresh42 was managing the Math Challenges, I remember three threads pinned to the right panel. Something similar could be done for the POTW threads too...

I'm so happy that @anemone and @Euge continue on their great work here at PF. Seeing how many people just respond to this announcement makes me smile. A community needs members of all sorts to thrive - those who ask, those who help, those who coordinate, those who lurk. :smile: PF looks to have a nice size of all of these.
