How did you find PF?
Used it ages ago while doing math and physics in undergrad
Hi everyone!

I'm a data scientist in the defence industry who works primarily on spatiotemporal forecasting. I have a bachelor's degree in math and physics, buuuuut I 'learned' things in the worst way possible - by pretty much rote memorising how to solve problems rather than developing any kind of understanding. It got me a degree, but years later I realize I don't actually know as much math or physics as I'd like to.

To redeem myself, I've enrolled into a master's degree where I'll be doing some math coursework followed by a thesis (currently interested in differential geometry, but the thesis is still 2 years away as I'm only studying part-time). I'm halfway through the first semester and am really enjoying taking the time to try and understand things. I look forward to sharing this journey with you all and hope that some of your knowledge and wisdom will rub off on me. :)

Welcome to PF; it's good to have you here. :smile:
 
Hello, I’m joining from Turkey and I’m 28 years old. I discovered my interest in science through a YouTube video (@Veritasium) , and everything I’ve learned since then excites me so much that I feel like a child wanting to share every new piece of knowledge with those around me. Although I don’t yet have full mastery of mathematical formulas or physical laws, my passion for learning constantly drives me to explore and understand more. No matter how complex the world of science may be, my...
