Very cool. Made me realize how much I used to like math as a student, and how much I've forgotten.

#52Thank you very much for this. This is so good.
I wish you had a feature that allowed for bookmarking problems & comments like HN.

#54I just recently started doing UW contest math problems with my middle school aged kid— they're definitely not "core" material but are excellent for enrichment and building lateral thinking:

#55I've thought about building something similar 100 times. So happy to see someone do it! I have a daily habit of doing math problems, just to keep the various branches I've studied somewhat fresh in my mind, and finding good problem sets that can be accessed easily has been a surprisingly hard challenge.
If you're interested in open sourcing it so collaborators can help contribute to some of the future features you've discussed in the thread here, let us know! I'm sure there are plenty of people who'd like to pitch in.

thank you for your words! although, teachyourselfmath is already an open-source project - https://github.com/viveknathani/teachyourselfmath/

#59Pdf-extraction?
Technically it is an interesting problem.
But ... just stating the obvious ... you need to be careful with copyright. Make sure to clearly indicate the source of each problem.

#60>At its core, it is a math PDF extraction engine. The engine has some machine learning going on behind the scenes to extract math problems in LaTeX from any image or document. I would like more to see curated hand picked math problems instead of mass imported problems from various sources. Along with solutions and detailed explanations and links to the theory needed to understand and solve the problem.
thank you for the feedback, i will see if some sort of curation as a feature is possible.
This explains why some of them have missing information. Such as this one:
> Suppose that one digit, indicated with a question mark, in each of the following ISBN-10 codes has been smudged and cannot be read. What should this missing digit be?
