[Calvin] What Key Techniques blog posts would you like to see?

This could range from

understanding why some theorems are true (like the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra),
applications of topics you learnt in high school (like what is the relevance of conic sections apart from memorization),
advanced topics that you are interested in (Maclaurin's series, Non-Euclidean Geometry, Field Theory)
Interesting strange theorems (Banach-Tarski paradox, Hairy Ball Theorem, Jordan Curve Theorem)

Any suggestions of topics will be taken into consideration.

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.

Geometry!(I'm very weak in this topic)

umm, induction?

Harshit Kapur - 8 years, 5 months ago

Sir I would like a blog post on Cauchy Schwartz inequality.

Sreejato Bhattacharya - 8 years, 5 months ago

Relevance of conic sections sounds interesting, like you mentioned. Also, the Method of Proof by Infinite Descent would be cool.

Omid Rooholfada - 8 years, 5 months ago

Well graph theory would be quite useful, if u could post something related to it which can also come in IMO.

Siddharth Kumar - 8 years, 5 months ago

I think: Chebyshev, holder and caushy schwartz are really needed

Anas Elidrissi - 8 years, 5 months ago

chemistry

Prajwal Kavad - 7 years, 2 months ago

Would like to get calculus in future posts and challenges.
