Easy Math Editor

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! If i ever though Brilliant was an awsome place this makes it heaven on earth and i would like to show my interest in aplying but i have a few questions: - I dont have a maths or engineering background, so i realy dont know if i have a real chance against others that do. - Right know i work for a small investment bank in Mexico and Im studying for the CFA , however im realy interest in trading and hedge found strategies.

Basically i really want to aply but i want to verify if want a real possibility. Thanks for everything Calvin.

I major in Computer Science have a gpa of 6.81(absolute). Should I apply? I have keen interest in quant finance, though.
