In summary, after majoring in mathematics, my interest in physics was sparked by the realization of how closely the two subjects are intertwined. The mathematical principles and problem-solving skills I acquired in my math studies were directly applicable to understanding and exploring the laws and theories of physics. This connection between the two fields ignited my curiosity and passion for physics, leading me to delve deeper and pursue a career in the subject. Additionally, the opportunity to apply mathematical concepts to real-world phenomena and phenomena beyond the scope of pure mathematics further captured my interest and expanded my understanding of both subjects.

How did you find PF?
I've been a member for a very long time (10+ years) : Phy.org;Quanta@simonsfoundation.org. . .
~50 years ago I majored in mathematics, mainly because the physics dept. was problematic. However, physics has been an interest for all of my adult life. I retired a while back and have returned to studing physics on my own.
