Dear Brilliant;

After reading through your 'about page', I was wondering if you would ever produce a site that incorporates all,or most, of the core academic subjects such as English, History, Geography, Chemistry, Biology, Languages etc?

#LearningResources #Education #Learning #Polymath

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.

@Samuel Barmby , I would Prefer B'ant to be a math and Physics dominated site. This is because, These are the main subjects asked for in Olympiads. For the Rest Of the subjects, Other Internet Sources are more than Enough! :)

Strongly Agree!

So do I, that is what I was trying to say with my second comment. I agree that Brilliant should be exclusively for Mathematics and Science, it makes sense.

@Samuel Barmby – Well, U will Join our community in G+ , a conversation?

Swapnil Das - 5 years, 1 month ago

@Swapnil Das – Ok, thanks. How does one access G+?

Samuel Barmby - 5 years, 1 month ago

@Samuel Barmby – U have a google account?

Swapnil Das - 5 years, 1 month ago

@Swapnil Das – Ah, you were referring to Goggle plus; I thought that you were alluding to a special conversational application that Brilliant offered. I am afraid that I do not have a google account, although I might be able to aquire one. Thank you for the infomation.

@Samuel Barmby – Welcome!

Swapnil Das - 5 years, 1 month ago

@Swapnil Das – Good point, it never helps when my keyboard obscures the text I am typing. Also, Swapnil Das and Mehul Arora, I like your idea of a logical reasoning section.

Samuel Barmby - 5 years, 1 month ago

@Samuel Barmby – Thanks! :) :)

@Samuel Barmby – Typo^^ Google @Samuel Barmby

Despite my love of all academic subjects, one does have to agree with your logic; brilliant provides an excellent service that utilises the beauty of Mathematics, Science and Economics, thus creating a cohesive, cogent and intelligent system that intellectually stimulates us all, without the need of introducing other academic subjects. Moreover, it does ultimatly enable brilliant to be a 'brainy site'- a factor that all brilliant users must love.

Also, what system does one use to display one's Mathematical solution, or question for that matter, due to the fact that I have numerous solutions to the questions on brilliant, but can not display them.

P.S: By the way, I do love Mathematics and Science and I will be competing in the forthcomming BMO( I have never got a question wrong!) Thank you for both of your comments.

No, please don't make Brilliant like that! Let it be a Brainy site! Don't feel bad, followed U!
