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.

I am not sure about others but i m solving hall and knight's, fennyman and irodov.. u just need to have a little knowledge of basic mathematics like a bit of calculus, sets, inequalities, functions, etc. but u should have an excellent grip on vectors for solving physics books... Hall and knight's is self explaining book, first u read theory and then u do problems, so its not problematic.. i hope it helps..

For Arthur engles problem solving statergies , you will require mathematical circles , any number theory book , ,The Art and Craft of Problem Solving , and for geometry part of it , kiran kedalya geometry unbound will sit best.

I bought the book year ago , when i know very less things , i got frustated when i started the book , Then read all these left books (books i mentioned) and started a month before :D Now its is really pleasing to do problems from Arthur Engel''s book.

Since you are indian i recommend you Excursion in mathematics , Challenge and thrill in mathematics ( as these are easily available books) For number theory read David M bruton book ( google it , you will get all these books except challenge and thrill ,excursion on net)

Best of luck :)

Thnx dude,And by the way have u participated RMO or INMO. Or are u preparing for it....And also bruton's book would sufficient for number theory

somesh ROUT - 8 years, 3 months ago

RMO , INMO ( i don;t think , that i would get select this time) I will be again preparing for it after the 10th exams

@Shivang Jindal – but how r u preparing..

Well this question is interesting to answer..so 1.Mathematical Circles - No prerequisites required.Nothing at all.You'll love this book i'm sure. 2.Hall and Knight - All the parts are explained thoroughly.Basic maths will do. 3.The Art and Craft of Problem Solving - I've gone through some parts of it.It ain't that tough. Don't know about the rest but my friends say that Ierdov's book requires excellent concepts in physics.

As content editor from budget essay assistance US generally students tend to get really confused when to choose the most appropriate and reliable source to get their college or university assignment writing task done because what at least they need to have gentle know how about what they are going to pick
