Synthetic Geometry Group

Latest details.

Xuming Liang would like to start up a Synthetic Geometry group on Brilliant. The focus would be on understanding how to approach Geometry proofs that you would see on an Olympiad, as opposed to simply calculating the values through brute force.

The details are not fully set yet, but we will most likely meet up once a week on Slack, cover a particular topic, and then post notes/wikis that summarize what we have learnt.

If this interests you, please send me a message.

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.

Really interested. Predominantly because Geometry has the highest representation in Olympiad problems and my Geometry is somewhat weak :P

Who's the troll who's downvoting all the comments?
