"Who to follow" is the most awaited list of the newsletter. So with no more wait here is the list in no specific order: Be sure to hit the button to keep yourself updated with the amazing problems and notes posted by them. Moderators are up for you every time. Keep learning, exploring and sharing! Thanks a lot! Regards Moderators Team Note by Sandeep Bhardwaj 5 years, 9 months ago 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.
