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.

As you do problems on Brilliant, pay attention to the types of problems you consistently miss or underperform at. Try to learn from the featured solutions, posted when problem sets expire. We will not post or discuss the current weeks problems in this forum. If you find that there are specific topics that you would like help understanding, ask the forum. We may be able to help you or point you to other online resources. Also, you may suggest for Calvin to write a "key techniques" post on a topic that you would like to learn more about.

Apart from problems, can we learn teqniques and proots here in form of chapters?
Is there any free e book to learn skilled maths for competitions?
