This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Hi Ricky,

We will definitely take it into consideration when planning future additions to the calculus section.

Thank you!

I have confirmed that it is in fact in our roadmap of things to add. I should warn though that it is going to be relatively low priority. The behavior so far is that there is much more demand for the basic topics, which makes sense. So, even within calculus we will probably not get to convergence/divergence, power/taylor series until we have sort of covered the lower hanging fruit.

I agree plus more cool problems on Rolle's, LMVT, IMVT, definition of limit ,continuity(epsilon-delta).should be incorporated.
