Help Make Brilliant Even Better!

You may have noticed that we've launched wiki pages in our practice section. We've got over 100 pages already up and running but we need your help to make these pages a resource that will make Brilliant.org an even better place to improve at math, science, and problem solving.

If you'd like to try your hand at explaining a challenging/interesting concept to tens of thousands of other people all around the world, read on!

Our wiki pages are meant to help people who have forgotten (or have never learned) about a particular skill or technique. Our best pages will have:

a brief and understandable summary of the idea/technique
additional explanation, if it would be helpful or provide added depth
some worked examples so readers can see the idea in action

However, any contributions you can make are welcome, as we want to work as a community to improve this resource over time. Here are a couple of examples of some more-developed pages:

So, if you'd like to help, here are some pages that could use your contributions:

Of course, feel free to look around and contribute anywhere else you'd like as well!

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.

Comments

Hi, Is any topic related to Abstract Algebra, Mathematics Logic and Discrete Mathematics Available in Brilliant?

Asama Zaldy Jr. - 6 years, 8 months ago

Asama, we are adding more topics all the time. However, if you are interested in discrete math, you might find some interesting things in Number Theory or Combinatorics.

Arron Kau Staff - 6 years, 8 months ago

sure, I will add some stuff in Number Theory.. Thanks Arron

Can I add additional info?

Jeremy Bansil - 6 years, 8 months ago

...did somebody say Science?...

@Arron Kau I would like to ask that how can I add older (i.e. the problems which are previously posted )problems in Related community posts

Archiet Dev - 6 years, 8 months ago

You can add any problems you have written to a wiki page by clicking edit on your problem and choosing the appropriate skill. Only staff and moderators have the ability to do this for other people's problems.
