# Problem of The Week for Mathematics.

I just wanted to give a suggestion of adding the Problem of the Week FOR MATHEMATICS . I personally feel that it will be more popular than that of Physics. Though, it will consume time, but it sounds exciting . Please take this into consideration.... Can we know why the Problem of the Week was closed???

And in this, we could keep big prizes for the best solution submitted. · 4 years, 3 months ago

Gavril, it's a nice idea to have a problem of the week for mathematics and Calvin sir can provide it to us if he isn't overburdened. · 4 years, 3 months ago

i support. · 4 years, 3 months ago

Great idea! · 4 years, 3 months ago

ya that will be great · 4 years, 3 months ago

i agree · 4 years, 3 months ago

Also, we should be asked to submit a solution, otherwise here also some cheaters will succeed.... and those who solve the question and don't give the solution, some serious action should be taken towards them. · 4 years, 3 months ago

Hi all,

We will consider bringing back a problem of the week for mathematics. We will evaluate our workflow and see if we can implement it without sacrificing productivity on other expansions to the website. If we can we will do it. We will let you know if our plans to bring back problem of the week become more concrete. Staff · 4 years, 3 months ago

Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear · 4 years, 3 months ago

If the mods won't do it, we can do it (w/o pts) in a discussion, maybe? · 4 years, 3 months ago

nice idea =D · 4 years, 3 months ago

Are you suggesting this instead of physics? If it's that, then my answer is a big NO. (Otherwise I say: great idea!) · 4 years, 3 months ago

I just want a Problem of the week for Mathematics and i don't think they'll bring it back for Physics as there must be some valid reason, why they closed it. · 4 years, 3 months ago

Ohhh, I didn't know there was a physics "problem of the week". Now I understand what you say. You've my support! · 4 years, 3 months ago

I placed the same query before the staff in a thread..................they said that it was not attracting much attention.....so they removed it. · 4 years, 3 months ago

They can't do like this. If a discussion has more than 20 votes , it is something... · 4 years, 3 months ago

And it should be an open problem · 4 years, 3 months ago

So that when you solve the problem Brilliant won't need to award you, Clay Mathematical Institute will do that for them? · 4 years, 3 months ago

Are awards greater than the skill of solving.(I didn't think they are) · 4 years, 3 months ago

Oh my! Don't you understand any sarcasm? It was a rhetorical answer to your foolish comment that the problem of the week should be an open problem. But I now think you don't understand the meaning of open problem, so I'll make everything clear for you.

An open problem is a problem that is real tough and no one knows their solution. Even the big daddies of mathematics are stumped by it. There are monetary prizes reserved for some famous open problems by Clay Mathematical Institute. So, I said such a thing.

Good Day,

Hey,did u get dat 4rm Manorama Yearbook as well? I googled for the problems after reading abt them.Now I'd definitely try to solve them out :)))) · 4 years, 3 months ago
