Hi there,
Biology and Chemistry teacher here but always liked Physics too. If I could go back in time, I might have chosen to major in Engineering. Lately I've had to teach a bit of Physics at secondary school level (UK-based syllabus) and also started getting interested in electronics. This forum looks like a great platform for learning, so here I am!

We definitely need Physics teachers here in England. I scraped my A-level in the subject decades ago, -even then
it was dumbed down (Lond. Uni syllabus) with no calculus whatsoever! I would have been given a greater
appreciation of the realm and scope had it done so... Enjoyed Biology though,

more into mathematics now
Welcome to PF Chadley! hope the forums via Google Chrome stabilises, or might be my tablet..
