Saturday Math and Algorithms ONLINE (for now)

Video Call URL: [https://meet.jit.si/MathForPeople](https://meet.jit.si/MathForPeople)

*

Let's meet (ONLINE) and take a crack at one or more of the awesome math/computer science puzzles (https://projecteuler.net/archives) from the Project Euler website! They are not only fun, but you can hone your coding skills, learn some new math, or both!

We usually start with a problem with a difficulty rating of around 30%, depending on the tastes of attendees.

Note that everyone is most definitely welcome to arrive after the fun begins, but members who come on time get to vote on what problem we choose to work on!

Feel free to discuss all things math/algorithms over at the forum: [https://groups.google.com/d/forum/math-for-people](https://groups.google.com/d/forum/math-for-people) (No solutions please, just preliminary thoughts or raw brute-force output.)

General description of Project Euler meetups...

Project Euler is a website that posts a new problem every week (currently there are over 600). A combination of theoretical math and computer programming are necessary to solve the problem. A brute force algorithm will usually take years to run, but a clever algorithm should return the answer in under a minute on a basic laptop. Generally, the program itself won't be very complex, just CLEVER!

All are welcome, neither programming skills nor advanced mathematical knowledge is required. Problems almost never rely on knowledge of any math beyond the high school level.
