Topics: Math, Physics, Computer Science
Explanation Quality: Good
Medium: Problems, Text
Type of Content: Recreational, Practice Problems
Brilliant.org is one of my favorite math websites. It offers a a new set of problems every week in a variety of topics. Before you start doing problems in a certain topic, you do a few problems to determine your level. The site then places you appropriately and you can get started with this week's problem set. You level up if you consistently do well.
What I like about it is that the problems are interesting. You don't immediately know how to go about solving something. I always end up with a few problems I can't figure out. At the end of the week, you can view solutions to all the problems. You can also offer your own solutions and help out others who didn't get it.
While the main section of the site has olympiad type problems, there is also a practice section where you can choose to work on specific techniques. It is helpful for reviewing topics from school. It also actually explains methods of solving the problems, instead of just throwing you in there. I personally don't use that section as much, because I have more fun with the main problem sets. There are also smaller weekly problem sets in physics and computer science. I expect the sections to expand in the near future but for now the bulk of the site is math.
So head on over and have some fun!
