I started a little math club in Bangalore

This is nice. You can spread the word to r/bangalore and related subs. But sure small communities sound like more fun than a big one.

Are many of them programmers/techie or academicians?

hey thanks! for now, a lot of them have some sort of a tech background

Good luck Vivek, this looks really nice! I was in Bangalore for the first time this Feb and had a great time. You should check out Mecca cafe, it's thoda grimy but a total vibe.

Awesome initiative. For people not physically in Bangalore, maybe start a discord and we can asynchronously try to work through problems and get support

Best! Great way to connect with interesting people!

What's your criteria for letting people in? Like what should be the minimum level of maths skills they should already have?

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>

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!

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.

hey thanks!

Love this. Anyone know of something similar in NYC? Casual, unpretentious math club?

Super cool! Where did you get the problems from?

Love the idea. All the best!
