Some ideas for contributions
Hi Amin,
welcome aboard CZ. Bruce has already given you some hints as to how things work here in general, and following your invitation to make suggestions on how you could contribute, I wish to add some. For a start, I just took some of the keywords from the information you supplied upon registration, and display below the current state of related CZ articles (for icon documentation, see Template:Rpl/Doc):
Physics [r]: The study of forces and energies in space and time. [e]- Mathematics [r]: The study of quantities, structures, their relations, and changes thereof. [e]
- Science [r]: The organized body of knowledge based on non–trivial refutable concepts that can be verified or rejected on the base of observation and experimentation [e]
Education [r]: Learning, teaching, research and scholarship activities for the purpose of organizing, presenting and acquiring knowledge, skills or social norms. [e]- Learning [r]: The process of structuring new knowledge. [e]
- Teaching [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Tertiary sector [r]: Term usually applies to the service sector, as opposed to the secondary (manufacturing) sector and the primary sector of agriculture, mining, and fishing. The tertiary sector is easily confused with the third sector of nonprofit, philanthropic organizations and civil society institutions. Although there is overlap between the two concepts. Nearly all third sector establishments are in the tertiary sector (i.e. services) although the largest portion of tertiary sector services are not nonprofits. [e]
- Sociology [r]: Social science that studies human social behavior or social relations, social institutions and structures, demography, public opinion, social welfare, social psychology and some forms of political behavior, as well as the history of sociology. [e]
History [r]: Study of past human events based on evidence such as written documents. [e]
In order to find articles dealing with similar topics, it's also worth looking at the Related Article subpages of such an article (or the [r]).
Furthermore, in case you are involved in homework assignments, please consider doing so via Eduzendium articles.
Finally, you can help future newcomers by giving your feedback on the above suggestions. To do so, please leave a note on my talk page.
Looking forward to fruitful collaborative editing, --Daniel Mietchen 23:21, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
