Hello good Canadians,

I am from United States. My interests goes into fields of mathematics, physics, computer science, computers & electronics, music and art, so you can pretty much call me a polymath. I really like computer science, and I see that there's a lot of programming going on around here. I am learning other computer science topics too (artificial intelligence, etc.). I hope you guys will talk about other computer science topics, too. Well, let's have some fun!

I think many members here share your sentiment. Feel free to start up a discussion on any computer science topic that interests you, and I'm sure at least a few people will join in. Smile

Well, I guess the appropriate thing to say is, "Welcome", but I couldn't help but notice that you called yourself a polymath. I was under the impression that people don't usually call themselves that, but I guess it's OK, even Napoleon crowned himself the king of France.

Well, I ranked top 500000 physicist in the world. I didn't make it to IPhO, but I still pwn.

Oh come on Analysis Mode, there's no need to be that vitriolic.
Anyway, I think the definitive test of whether or not you can pwn is whether or not you can browse the Art of Problem Solving Forum for 10 minutes without feeling like an idiot. Try it, then get back to me.
Oh wait, I forgot to say Welcome! Err... I do math, computer science, physics, chemistry; I have a recreational interest in Latin, as well as quite a penchant for random facts. Nice to meet you.

That is a hell of a forum...Shocked

btw, Hello jhooper3581, nice to meet you. I do math and CS, though I have a growing interest in biology.

Yep. It's not for the faint of heart. (By the way, according to my own definition, I most certainly do not pwn.)

Holy crap! That is an intense forum. I'm never going back there.

I've seen worse ...
Physicist eh? I also enjoy Physics and hope to study it in my post-high school years (High-Five) Smile
Oh yea, Welcome to Compsci!
I enjoy several subjects:
Physics
Math
Chemistry
Biology
CS/AI
Engineering/Robotics
Geography
History
Chess/SpeedCubing
Memorizing stuff
Random Facts
... This could go on for a while, so i'll just stop =P
p.s: bbi5291 certainly does pwn, his just modest >.>
@ endless: Yes, It's delicious Smile

Oddly enough, Shah-Cuber is the only coder I know who's interested in chemistry (I myself don't count). Those who are interested in chem, generally aren't very, though.

@Analysis Mode: Don't you think I have already considered that? I've been watching reach for the top for years now, sad thing is - our school doesn't have the program >.> Crappiest school ever Sad

In that case, you should find a teacher who's interested and start up a club.
