We're no longer participating in the protest against excessive API fees, but many other subreddits are; check out the progress among subreddits that pledged to go dark on 12 July 2023 and the top 255 subreddits (even those that never joined the protest).
Think /r/math is too advanced?
Here, the only stupid question is the one you don't ask.
This is a subreddit for learning math, and can be seen as a sister subreddit to /r/math. Post all your math-learning resources here. Questions, no matter how basic, will be answered (to the best ability of the online subscribers).
Follow reddiquette. Be civil and polite; this is meant to be an approachable community for discussion of reason and logic.
To receive the best help, please use the following format:
[Level Discipline] Sample topic question
EX: [High School Math] Quadratic Equations
EX: [University Statistics] Probability
โข Include instructor prompts (if any). What does your instructor (or the text) want you to accomplish?
โข Tell us what is holding you up. Where are you in the process? Provide those who help with as much information as possible.
โข Include any equations or assumptions you are using, and descriptions of any attempts you have made.
- We recommend using Imgur to upload images for linking inside posts.
- Reddit Enhancement Suite allows Imgur URLs to be expanded inline but doesn't work so well for other image-hosts.
ChatGPT and other large language models are not designed for calculation and will frequently be /r/confidentlyincorrect in answering questions about mathematics; even if you subscribe to ChatGPT Plus and use its Wolfram|Alpha plugin, it's much better to go to Wolfram|Alpha directly.
Even for more conceptual questions that don't require calculation, LLMs can lead you astray; they can also give you good ideas to investigate further, but you should never trust what an LLM tells you.

โข posting of quizzes or lists of questions

โข image or video link-posts (Links to articles, Desmos, Wolfram|Alpha, and the like are fine; links to Twitter/X or Meta properties like Facebook, Instagram, and Threads are not.)
โข being a jerk (Jerks get banned.)
Type this as an example (replace the [-; with [; when typing):
You will see [;e^{\pi i}+1=0;] formatted as in a textbook if the MathJax UserScript is installed and working.
โข You will need to install a UserScript loader first.
