# Combo Bashers

Hello, my name is Sam Thompson, and I am just another math, physics, and computer science lover on Brilliant. About me: I have been doing "hard" math for about 2 years, and I have just started learning physics and computer science this year. Anyways, I am creating a discussion group, called the Combo Bashers, which will discuss an important area of mathematics and/or physics once every week. The difficulty of the math will range from easy Level 4 to difficult Level 5, and the physics will range from Level 2 to Level 5. I'll post a general overview when time allows, so continue to watch this forum.

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.

This sounds fun. I look forward to the future conversations that you start.

I'm planning to start this around Sunday, so I'll post a schedule later today.
