Hello!

I'm a third year student studying physics. My spring semester has begun and I believe I'll be frequenting this site more often.
I suspect the classes that'll give me the most trouble are quantum, EM and solid state. I hope this can be the place to get assistance along with helping others.
And now, I must prepare for class. I'm glad to meet you all.
