Hi there everyone!
I just signed up to this amazing site, and I look forward to asking a host of odd questions.
I am a mature (31) student at an institute if technology in Ireland, and I have just started the second semester of my FIRST year.
I am loving every minute of the course, the maths occasionally blindsides me as I have forgotten some the early first principles and laws. But I am hungry for it (got 6 of 6 distinctions in the first semester), and hopefully this forum and all it's resident geniuses will guide me through some of the tricky questions!

Just don't be surprised if I ask the occasional question that makes you either laugh or facepalm.

Cheers

Tadhgrrr

Hi everyone, I'm just a physics enthusiast. I took some first-year courses a long time ago, but I wasn't able to continue, so I don't have a degree. Still, I'm really passionate about the subject and try to keep up with it as much as I can. I mostly study in my (limited) free time, going through books I didn’t get the chance to read when I was younger. Thanks for your attention!
