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.

Unfortunately, starting to offer chemistry problem sets is not as simple as pushing a button for us. We acknowledge that there is a strong interest in chemistry among people who solve Brilliant's problem sets. One of our long range goals is to offer chemistry content. In the short and medium term, our efforts will be spent on improving the math experience and expanding the physics one.
I think there are quite a few people who would enjoy computer science as well. Not programming per se but more theoretical computer science which is almost like a different flavor of math but reasoning about data structures and runtimes. I'm excited for any new subjects.
Chemistry is just as good as physics or math, but school chemistry has to offer substantially less computational exercises. Plus, sometimes you can't pull a reaction out of nowhere, just by using common sense, like in math, knowing only a few things about reaction mechanisms etc. University chemistry is another story.
For those of you who are interested in building out Chemistry on Brilliant, and would be willing to spend time writing up great wiki pages over the next month, please send me an email (Calvin@Brilliant.org).

they can give problems in physical chemistry
Example of Covalent Bond India + Pakistan ---> Sub Continent
I think that have a lot of subject better than chemistry,so chemistry should be later. This is just a thought :) All best Arbër
Yes, chemistry in brilliant will be very beneficial.
yes i also want chemistry
Yeah chemistry shld be added

i think the answer can be just symbols and numbers

It would be interesting if chemistry was started...but the answers for questions will have to be in sentences

not so. this is not your standard school question-answers we are asking for
