Materials Science and Engineering !BlankMap-World_gray.png!right|180px|Languages]] Hi, welcome to a wiki about Materials Science and Engineering. A hope is to create a resource that can help individuals learn and apply principles of Materials Science. This site can serve as a forum to ask questions, discuss ideas, read notes, and contribute content. Included on this page are links to course materials and websites relevant to materials science. A guide explaining [how to display formulas|http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Formula] is available h2.

Selected biography !Thomas_Young_(scientist).jpg!thumbnail|right|125px|Thomas Young, English scientist]] *Thomas Young* (June 14, 1773 ��� ���May 10, 1829) was an English scientist, researcher, physician and polymath. He is sometimes considered to be "the last person to know everything": that is, he was familiar with virtually all the contemporary Western academic knowledge at that point in history. Clearly this can never be verified, and other claimants to this title are Gottfried Leibniz, Leonardo da Vinci, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Johann Wolfgang Goethe and Francis Bacon, among others. Young also wrote about various subjects to contemporary editions of the Encyclopedia Britannica. His learning was so prodigious in scope and breadth that he was popularly known as "Phenomenon Young." : *[*read more...|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Young_%28scientist%29]* h2.

MIT DMSE Core Classes Fall Semester !P literature.png!right|60px|History]] This wiki about Materials Science began in fall 2006, and initial contributions were related to coursework at MIT. "Materials at Equilibrium" and "Eletronic, Optical, and Magnetic Materials" are two core subjects of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT, and knowledge of this subject material is evaluated during graduate school qualifying exams. There is currently an introductory text to the field of Materials Science and Engineering [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Materials_Science] being developed at wikibooks, and there is a Department of Materials Science and Engineering [http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Topic:Materials_Science_and_Engineering] hosted at wikiversity. h2.
