Anyone interested in helping mod this subreddit?

2 Upvotes

I somehow accidentally ended up as mod of this subreddit some time ago but haven't managed to give it the attention it deserves so I thought I would ask this community if there are any maths enthusiasts who might be willing to help out.

You role would include approving new messages / comments that were deemed appropriate for this subreddit.

At the moment everything is pretty casual but if anyone has any advice on how to run a community like this I am open to suggestions.

If so send me a message via mod mail

Math IRC channel on Snoonet

12 Upvotes

Hey /r/CasualMath!

I (along with several others) run a math channel on the snoonet irc network called #math. We are somewhat of a hybrid channel for a variety of math subreddits on Reddit.

IRC is a great way to discuss math and get homework help in real time. The channel would be happy to have you!

To connect via webchat: http://webchat.snoonet.org/math (link in sidebar as well)

Just a random math idea I came up with

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I was bored and decided to make up my own math. Long story short, I invented a new unit called f (felta). When you put it in an absolute value, it strictly outputs a negative number, like |1f| = -1 or |5f| = -5. And when it comes to fยฒ, it behaves like i. Why did I do this? I have no idea, but I thought it was pretty fun.

I built an interactive maths quiz for Reddit (with LaTeX!)

1 Upvotes

Hey guys!

Maths/Stats student here (2nd year), I couldn't find a decent interactive maths quiz on Reddit, so I thought I'd try building one.

I've created r/DailyMathProblem, with interactive questions, worked solutions and a leaderboard. Also being a maths enthusiast I was determined to get LaTeX working, and it was a success! (damit reddit, we have been asking for LaTeX for years!)

I've posted the first 10 questions already. The idea is to release a couple each day, ranging from easy to slightly challenging. Just quick little puzzles to keep your maths skills sharp, without needing half an hour and a notebook.

I've shared Challenge #10 (matrices) to show how it works. Would love some honest feedback on what you guys think!

Cheers!

Note: I'm aware my username is wild. I made it many years ago and thought I'd only ever be a lurker, not a poster!

WordPhoria - but actually it has Math

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Hi, I made a 'word' game called WordPhoria. Math part is coming... its a word-path game played across a hexagonal board โ€” you make words by dragging through neighbouring letters, with the aim of working your way from the left side of the board to the right. The board changes as you play, and there are both relaxed (Causal) and more pressured (Chaser) game modes. Its not a daily but rather a lot of levels to pass the time and every level has a leaderboard for competitive play - though there is also multiplayer over wifi!

However, when developing it I stumbled upon the idea of a math 'mathsearch' where you find legitimate equations from random boards. And actually several of my testers found that the most interesting. Its quite challenging to get your head around but surprisingly satisfying when you construct a multipart equation.

Appstore link:

https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/wordphoria/id676975194

Its free to download with 50+ free levels without any ads. A bunch of them are maths levels. Would love some feedback.

*I couldn't find a subreddit for math games in the same way there is a big wordgames subreddit so my apologies if this sort of thing doesnt fit r/CasualMath interest but hopefully it is of interest!

PENTOMINOSA

Post image
1 Upvotes

The 8ร—8 grid below has a 2ร—2 hole in the center, leaving 60 cells to fill. Your task is to tile the board with the 12 pentominoes (F, I, L, P, N, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z), using each piece exactly once. Pieces may be rotated and reflected.

Rules:

  1. The 12 pentominoes must cover the entire board โ€” every cell except the central 2ร—2 hole belongs to exactly one pentomino.
  2. Each cell of the grid contains a digit from 1 to 5.
  3. Each pentomino must cover exactly five cells whose digits are all different โ€” in other words, every piece must cover the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, one of each.

In short: find a tiling of the board in which each pentomino covers a region containing all five digits.The NOTES grid at the bottom is meant for tracking the pieces: you can cross out each pentomino there once you're certain of its position.

Find the tiling. Solution is unique.
