Project Euler - Intro

Intro:

Project Euler is a website, which currently contains 389 problems. The authors claim that for every problem can be solved using programming language, and for some just using a sheet of paper and a pencil. To do the latter, you have to have a lot of knowledge in a lot of different math subjects - number theory, geometry, algebra etc..

More info:

You can read more about Project Euler on its website: http://projecteuler.net/
When you register your own account you can submit your answers and the system will show you if the answer is corrent or incorrent. The website's system also provides a tracking of your current progress, different levels (depends on how many problem you've solved), awards (solving problems a group of problem, etc).
You can filter the users by country, so if the user left some contact details you can chat with each other.
You can see the statistics for each individual problem (how many registered users solved it).
Something worth telling is until you solve a problem, you're not allowed to look at other people's solutions, only when you submit a correct solution you're able to do that. Another thing you have access to once you've submitted a correct solution is a access to the author's explanation (if provided, of course).

Outro

Project Euler provides a good competitive enviroment for training your programming, math and logic skills. Why wait?! Go to the website and start coding. :) Note: Maybe I will post some of my solutions in the future. And last, but not least - all greetings go to the authors of Project Euler and the people who provide new problems. ;)
