Introducing myself

Hi! I just stumbled across this site today, and I would like to say hello.

I am interested in mathematics, both serious and recreational.

Thanks, MathsIsFun and power man!

I live in England. I merely name myself after my favourite character in Jane Austen’s Emma.

That's crazy!

Boy let me tell you what:
I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.

It appears to me that if one wants to make progress in mathematics, one should study the masters and not the pupils. - Niels Henrik Abel.

Interesting that you used that word...that word goes back to a moderator's history back here on MathsIsFun.

Re: Introducing myself

Wow, I wonder why I haven’t seen this thread for a while!

To those whom I haven’t thanked for welcoming me in this thread: a big THANK YOU to all for your nice welcome!

Well, as you know, I’m interested in mathematics. My other big interest is learning languages. I’m well grounded in French, Italian, Spanish, German, Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish, and I’m also very keen on learning Portuguese, Dutch, Danish and Icelandic.

In general, I’m interested in learning and acquiring knowledge of all sorts. My other interests include science (physics/chemistry), geography, biology, computers, history, philosophy, literature, art, music and sports.
