It would surprise me if tif supported latex :\

 

 

 

Whenever I need to symbolically show math, I just use OpenOffice.Org's Math program, it's rather simple and can be turned easily into an image.

 

Oh, I meant just throwing it in a pdf and then showing a picture on here. However, LaTeX might be a little unnecessary for these problems.

This looks very interesting, and I'd like to give some of them a go. But what kind of programming skills do you need? I have pretty much none, what could I learn that'd get me started with that?

 

You would probably be best learning some language like C, Python, Java, etc., especially if you seriously wish to complete many of the problems. I use Python, and like it a lot. :D

 

 

 

I use an IRC program called mIRC that has its own scripting language.

 

 

 

I used that for most of them, but some of the questions just crashed mIRC.

 

Some of the stuff is definitely more calculation-intensive than mIRC scripting can handle, so I would really recommend learning a better language. :(

Ah yeah that's pretty much what I would do, but I do agree it'd probably be unnecessary.

I know no programming whatsoever but I was able to easily do the first one on my calculator. Will try more of them later.

A few of them are doable with paper/pencil and/or a calculator, but a vast majority require programming.

Well I guess I'll look for a few more like that one, and if I can't find any, won't do them then. Theres a lot of other math problems out there.

Yep you'll never run out of math problems to do. :D

 

 

 

I'm up to 82 problems solved on this site.

I really like python. I find it to be much simpler than C or Java, which is the main reason I gave up learning those. Being an interpreted language, however, it will be slower than C, but that's not really much of an issue, because if your algorithm is taking hours to run it's a sign that you need a more efficient algorithm.

I looked around the interwebz and most people think that Python or Visual Basic are both easy programming languages to start off with, especially Python.

HTML is not a 'programming language' but it does begin to cover the topics of hand editing code, thinking about the organizational structure of a document full of code, and allows one to gain a programming style. HTML is the one language that I can think of that allows the most flexibility in coding implementation. I mean, all you need is your favorite text editor and a web browser. No IDE, interpreter, or compilier is needed. And you don't even need to have a webserver to hold your html files as they can sit right on the HD of your computer.

 

 

 

I know some HTML so if you need help with that, just ask me. :P

I would definitely say Python over VB, especially for this purpose, because Python can handle large integers, whereas a number of other languages, if an integer grows beyond 2^64 (I think. May be 2^32 for some languages) there is an overflow error and an incorrect answer will be given.

 

 

 

Also 85 problems solved now. Found a few more which I was able to easily solve, can't be many more of those left. :(

I'm probably one of the only ones here who started with C++ (had to take a mandatory course in it), but it isn't overly difficult imo. Though I did have HTML experience prior to that, I do not know if it had anything to do with it.

 

 

 

My C++ teacher gave us three problems off this site as homework assignments. I didn't realize that until now, however XD. I might try some of these. It will give me an excuse to continue programming XD.
