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.

Latex is a formatting system, which converts "text" into math equations.
We have not added the functionality to easily upload photos as yet. Currently, you are only able to do so when posting a new problem or a note. We will be adding more options to uploading of photos to solutions and comments. In the meantime, you can upload it to an image hosting site like Imgur, and then use the markdown syntax.

To post math, we use Latex. You can learn more on Math Formatting Guide.
To post images, we use markdown syntax. ! [title] (url link)
will display the image at the url link.
Both of these work the same on the phone as it does on the desktop.
