Submit a problem

Post a problem from a university course, a contest, or your own curiosity. LaTeX works in the title and the body. A thread opens immediately so discussion starts at once. Draft auto-save runs while you type.

How to post a great problem

  • • Define symbols once, then reuse them consistently.
  • • Add tags that describe the main idea, not every detail.
  • • If the problem comes from a course, include the course code in tags (for example, mat312).
  • • Aim for clarity. Mathematics is hard; the English stays clean.

LaTeX and preview

  • • Inline maths: $x^2 + y^2$ or \(x^2+y^2\)
  • • Display maths: $$\int_0^1 x^n\,dx$$ or \[\int_0^1 x^n\,dx\]
  • • Multi-line: \begin{align} ... \end{align}
  • • The preview renders with MathJax (standard LaTeX works; extra packages do not load).
  • • Very long equations scroll sideways in the preview, especially on mobile.

Tags are for discovery. Think: a topic (number-theory), a method (series), or a course (mat312). Two to five good tags is perfect.
