No time for comics! Solving more problems... my attempt to solve "5 problems" has turned into 29... a lot are really easy digit sum problems, but others are really quite interesting. Maybe I'll do #37 before I go to bed... it'll be easy enough. ;) > > On Jan 30, 12:58 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> On Tue, 29 Jan 2008, Bill Hart wrote: >> >>> Hi all, >> >>> Some of my undergraduate students have pointed out some interesting >>> things to me, and I thought sage developers might find them >>> interesting. >> >>> The first ishttp://www.projecteuler.net/ >> >>> It's a list of computational mathematical problems which you can solve >>> with a CAS, C, assembly, whatever you like. >> >>> I note that the highest completion rate is amongst pari users.
