I don’t really know what to add here, so I’ll just tell you a story. I don’t know when the idea came — I don’t even remem­ber if it’s my brother’s idea or

Today, as you may, or may not know, was the [in Namya’s words] “big vidya­mandir test”. In the morn­ing, I get up (which is rather unchar­ac­ter­is­tic of me —

Project Euler: Math + Programming = Sheer Fun!

Project Euler, is an awe­some intia­tive, for peo­ple inter­ested in math, and with some level of pro­gram­ming skills. It aims to encour­age Math learn­ing through the puz­zles they offer, of many lev­els, requir­ing dif­fer­ent apti­tude lev­els. It’s a hell lotta fun!
