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.

Nice, @Jeff Giff

Yajat Shamji - 1 month, 2 weeks ago

What about my Recurring Proof Notes? You think they are useful to your note, @Jeff Giff?

@Jeff Giff- Try my A Pre-RMO question! series, Math also Fails! series.

Zakir Husain - 1 month, 2 weeks ago

That's a definite one for @Jeff Giff to try - the Pre-RMO questions.

Also, RMO stands for...?

By the way, try this for Math Also Fails - $e^{i\pi} =-1, (e^\pi)^i =-1,$ then $i=\log_{e^\pi} -1?!$

Jeff Giff - 1 month, 1 week ago

No actually, definition of log clearly states that $log_ab$ is defined only when

$a \gt 0 and a \neq 1$
$b \gt 0$

Aryan Sanghi - 1 month, 1 week ago

Well it is correct, and not surprising if you know the Taylor series of $\ln$ and this

Zakir Husain - 1 month, 1 week ago

If you want a big and detailed explanation you can ask for that (can even write a note!)

Oops.. that’s logarithm for negative numbers :/

Good idea! I’ll add them :)

Jeff Giff - 1 month, 2 weeks ago

@Jeff Giff, Thanks for the mention for my $\LaTeX{}$ Guide but, it is a work in progress and I can suggest you better ones - Daniel Liu's Guide and Hamza Anushath's Guide.

Percy Jackson - 1 month, 1 week ago

Try my When two lines meet series, it is a series of hard questions for learning to solve questions using graph. Is this useful for your note?

@Jeff Giff- Kindly mention this note instead of my feed for Pre-RMO question series.

👌 OK!

@Jeff Giff, could you $\color{#333333}\text{add my note}$ too as a $\LaTeX$ guide, it has many new facts and features which may only have been mentioned by me

Frisk Dreemurr - 1 month, 1 week ago

Click the $\text{add my note}$ to access my note @Jeff Giff

@Jeff Giff, if you need anything from me, check out my profile and choose the series (i.e. if you choose one problem, you have to have the rest of the problems with that title.)

Yajat Shamji - 1 month, 1 week ago

@Jeff Giff - Kindly add this in RedMaths ''Late Events''

Zakir Husain - 1 month ago

Check this out, @Páll Márton :)

Jeff Giff - 3 weeks ago

Wowie!!!!!! RadMaths has become even better! Good work @Jeff Giff! You'll have to organize it a bit though, like removing the Mathathon as it is over, adding more space between 2 different series, etc.

Percy Jackson - 3 weeks ago

@Jeff Giff it is Vinayak Srivastavsa not Yinayak @Vinayak Srivastava ?

Zakir Husain - 2 weeks, 6 days ago

Yes @Jeff Giff!

Vinayak Srivastava - 2 weeks, 6 days ago

Uh oh. Typo ^@^

Jeff Giff - 2 weeks, 6 days ago

@Jeff Giff, check out this:

Magic Square Connections Study

Yajat Shamji - 2 weeks, 6 days ago

@Jeff Giff - See my Biology Problem Series note on my profile :)

Percy Jackson - 1 week, 1 day ago

@Jeff Giff - You can use buttons in RadMaths to make it more rad. See my note Buttons to learn button formatting :)

Percy Jackson - 4 days, 8 hours ago

I used it in anther note :) I don’t think it is necessary to add buttons here :)
