Howdy all,

I found this forum early this year and then I got busy and disappeared a few months ago. I recently found time to come back, and I just remembered about these introduction forums and thought I should probably reintroduce myself.

I really discovered how much fun math was about 10 or 12 years ago, and decided I wanted to get serious about it. It always seemed beautiful to me because the more you learn the more power you have with it and there's no limit to how much there is to learn. No matter how much you know, you still feel like a child when you look over the next horizon at the harder material that you haven't dealt with yet. And the thrill of discovery when you finally understand it is just great!

I enjoy helping people work through problems, so I'll try and stop by the Help Me! forums as often as I can to see if I can be of any assistance. I tend to be more on the applied side of things, so I'll be less likely to understand abstract topics and number theory problems, but it looks like others around here know that stuff a bit better. Also, I try when I can to not just give the answers away, but rather to help people get past points that they are stuck on so that they can solve the problems themselves. I think that really teaches them more in the long term, and plus it's less work for me
