How to Mention Users on Brilliant

All you have to do is: Place the ‘@‘ symbol before the person you are mentioning, then repeat the name with correct capitalisation in the right places. They will get a notification (if on desktop) and will come to wherever you mentioned them (if they want to). Example: @Blank McBlank Blank McBlank When you post the comment, it should look more or less like this: @Blank McBlank mention[1234567890:Blank McBlank] I have had a lot of difficulties, so I simplified it for anybody who wants to know how to mention a user. If you wanted to know, replace the ‘Blank McBlank’ with the person who you’re mentioning. If you read the comments, that is Jason Gomez teaching me how to mention others. If parts of the conversation are missing, it’s probably in the other note which we were switching the mentioning from (solution to Jason’s note to this note) Then Percy Jackson got involved. If you want to get confused, by all means read it. If you don’t, don’t. ~Sarah Alam

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.
