Melodies's Message Board

hahahah Just saw so many message board notes, so I've decided to create one myself! :)

I am Melodies from Singapore. I'm 16 this year and in Grade 10. I really like Math a lot, especially Olympiad and fun Math stuff :D In particular, I like learning combinatorics and number theory! Geometry is my weakest area though... Do message me if you have any fun facts to share cos I really love fun facts!

#FUN #Messageboard

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.

That's where you're wrong, 'cos I'm also from Singapore but I'm terrible at math. I'm still trying though :D

@Happy Melodies Hi melodies I am Mardokay a beginner in brilliant. May I ask you how you are so good at number theory? Also you write nice solutions.

Mardokay Mosazghi - 7 years, 1 month ago

Thank you Mardokay. Actually I'm not very good at number theory... But nonetheless, for me, I just like to spot patterns or play with numbers... so I guess that's why number theory is one of my favourite field of math.. :) For writing solutions, I think you have to have the audience in mind, as in you would want to write clear and motivated solutions for others to learn and to understand, just like how I would like to read a solution (when I don't know how to solve). :)

Happy Melodies - 7 years, 1 month ago

Thanks for the suggestion @Happy Melodies
