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.

Yup!! I agree -"Ancient mathematicians" May be you should also try " Vedic Mathematics" Literally the best form of mathematics as per me. I have a hard copy of one( by- Jagadguru Swāmī Shrī Srī Bharatī Krsna). Literally a must one for mathematics' lovers...
