Like Einstein's Olympia Academy!

Can we start something like this online for Hacker News community who are interested in Mathematics?

I have created a group here if someone is interested to join: https://groups.google.com/d/forum/projectfermat (If you think that there is a better place to have a forum like this that anyone can easily view or participate in, please let us know. I mean we could also create an IRC channel, Slack workspace, etc. but there should be one main starting point and a mailing list/web forum like this seems like a good place for that.)

I am thinking we could also host a web meeting to present, discuss, or share interesting topics and problems regularly. We can form our own mathematics discussion community here.

I have been doing this kind of thing at my workplace as well as outside work and it has been an incredible source of learning. I believe something like this for the Hacker News community would be very helpful and we can learn a lot of mathematics from each other if we can interact with each other on a more topic-focused forum.


I'd be very interested in something like this.


Glad to know you would be interested in this. Please feel free to click on group link I have shared in my previous comment and hit "Apply to join group".

There are 12 members in the group so far which I believe is a good size to kick-start the discussions and other activities. More members are welcome!
