Math puzzles are fun, and it might be fun to work through stuff and share solutions and tips together

    erhm i havent done any hard math in a while so i dont remember anything past basic integration (i dont remember the integration by parts formula or how to do differential equations lol), when you say puzzles would simple equations/series/simplifications be okay? because i might be able to post something daily this summer i guess

      Sure I think that would be okay! I think practicing integration by parts and differential equations would be good for me too

          I don’t remember, but when I was feeling really depressed I wanted to see what it looks like when a person takes a common sui poison, and then I went down the rabbit hole of watching other suicide videos and traumatizing myself. Based off of one video where you get the moment they begin to fall and hear a thump in the end, I calculated how far they must’ve fallen considering how long it took until impact.

        yeahh it does, but most are something you would need a computer for, i want them to be solved with just pen, paper, and your mind
