A discussion of math puzzles and my approach to solving them
Project Euler
A second introductory problem, this time introducing integer sequences reliant on previous values. The problem The Fibonacci sequence is an integer sequence obtained by adding the previous two terms. For the purposes of the euler problem, we are told the first 10 items in this sequence will be: 1, 2,
Project Euler
A geometric counting problem based strongly on a single mathematical pattern. My solution ended up needing some arbitrary loop limits, which tends to suggest a lapse in understanding. The completed script finished in 2.1 seconds without optimizations. As the joys of Project Euler are in the struggle and completion,
Project Euler
A modified popular interview question serves as an introduction to loops, summations and modulus. The problem The objective of the first project euler problem is to find the sum of all numbers, divisible by 3 or 5, less than 1000. Approach Problem 1 serves as an introduction to many of
