I don't know why but actually rendering the equations (mathjax? didn't check) is such an eye-catching way to see those problems in a feed like that, and having it almost mimic HN with a comment section is awesome. This is super cool!

Nice to see adults (re)learning math. It's one of the rare subjects that are guaranteed to provide "knowledge buzz" and also widely applicable.

<shameless plug>For other adults interested in learning math, check out my (nonfree) book here: https://noBSmath.com/ PDF preview and sample chapter: https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSmath_v5_previe... I also have a longer book that includes calculus and physics (cf. links in profile). </shameless plug>

What a fantastic idea – I know I got the most out of my college math classes collaborating on homework – well, I really only survived because of collaboration. Learning math has been inseparable from collaboration since Ethen.

No matter how many times I do number 20, I end up with 615. Am I wrong, or is the solution sheet wrong?

As someone who is studying maths myself I absolutely love this- What a great idea.
