So far, so good: I’ve completed two of the programming challenges:

However, the challenges are already pushing the limits of what I understand in regards to mathematics. Composite numbers? Palindromes? Lot’s to learn!

I’ve just enrolled in the free “Project Euler” series of logic challenges. From the Project Euler site:

Project Euler is a series of challenging mathematical/computer programming problems that will require more than just mathematical insights to solve. Although mathematics will help you arrive at elegant and efficient methods, the use of a computer and programming skills will be required to solve most problems.

The motivation for starting Project Euler, and its continuation, is to provide a platform for the inquiring mind to delve into unfamiliar areas and learn new concepts in a fun and recreational context.

My goal is to work through at least one problem every few days, and to post the results here.
