Ashley's Messageboard!

So here it is, my message board. Let's form a circle, for fun and MATHS! ![]

#Messageboard

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 @ashley shamidha I'm Ritu, studying in the XIth grade in Kerala. '' Let's form a circle, for fun and MATHS!'' and physics and chem!! Which stream did you opt? I am studying CS.

How's TN state board compared to CBSE??

Ritu Roy - 5 years, 11 months ago

Hi @Ritu Roy I'm studying Maths Biology. The syllabus is almost same for both but I don't like the way of evaluation in TN. They need the exact copy of the book in our answer sheets.

How hard is it in 12th grade? ( Since I've just begun 11th grade)

Kunal Verma - 5 years, 11 months ago

12th is not hard. Infact it is interesting, but the only bad thing is the teacher wants us to memorize each word of the book, which I hate...

Ashley Shamidha - 5 years, 11 months ago

Chemistry is never interesting.

Kunal Verma - 5 years, 11 months ago

@Kunal Verma – That"s true!!

Ashley Shamidha - 5 years, 11 months ago

Ashley Shamidha - 5 years, 11 months ago

A Former Brilliant Member - 5 years, 11 months ago

@A Former Brilliant Member – What does even that name mean (of your problem)? (asked out of curiosity)

shivamani patil - 5 years, 11 months ago

A Former Brilliant Member - 5 years, 11 months ago

@A Former Brilliant Member – I thought it was common sense!

A Former Brilliant Member - 5 years, 11 months ago

Agnishom Chattopadhyay - 5 years, 10 months ago
