Hi, hello....nice to meet you😉.. i'm not atheist but i'm curious 😛 and I'm not strong in math, but I like solid state physics... ![[Image: bb52744768.png]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=www.relatably.com%2Fm%2Fimg%2Fwelcome-memes%2Fbb52744768.png)
"Alone is what I have. Alone protects me."
“I may be on the side of the angels but don’t think for one second that I am one of them.” “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day." (January 3, 2018 at 8:07 pm)KittyAnn Wrote:(January 3, 2018 at 12:07 pm)polymath257 Wrote: Hello Everyone! A good analysis of solid state physics can be *very* mathematical. Reciprocal lattices, Bloch's theorem, and computing basic properties of the solid from the Schrodinger equation. Great Fun! Pleased to meet you!  RE: Just started

I'm afraid that I have zero ability/talent for math (nor am I any type of intellectual): I'm just a random guy who finds math interesting and wants to gain a basic understanding of it. Based on your credentials, I'm pretty sure that I'd bore you or any serious student of mathematics. With that said, there are certainly highly intelligent forum members here and members who are good at math, so I hope that you are able to meet them. Thanks for joining AF, sir.

You are studying math, and you have a PERFECT opportunity to address a person who could help you over a speed bump or two when you need it. FWIW, when I taught math and physics, I would have given up income to have a class of students who actually wanted to be there, as opposed to just putting their feet up on the desks and acting like I wasn't there.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
Hi and welcome!
 Yay for mathematics. We need a pi emoji here. -Teresa

There are a number of sock puppet creators that wander these here parts such that there is a certain cynicism about new members (I got a bit of that too), don't much worry about that. Proof of the pudding shall be in the eating thereof. I joined here on foot of chasing one such lying sock puppet around the internet (PGJ anyone?). PGJ, is a prolific internet crank. I have lost track of how many socks he has created here and on other sites. A close friend of mine is a PhD in math also. The stereotype annoys him as much as I suspect it does you. Take it in good nature. My friends nickname is "traitor" because, while he worked at various interesting things such as weather/climate modeling, he now works for a seriously important financial institution. But no worries, another friend has a PhD in Biotechnology. His thesis was in the action of bacteria in the production of cheese of all things. Inevitably, he is known as "Dr. Cheese" for the last several decades. |
