About Project Euler What is Project Euler? 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. Who
are the problems aimed at? The intended audience include
students for whom the basic curriculum is not feeding their
hunger to learn, adults whose background was not primarily
mathematics but had an interest in things mathematical, and
professionals who want to keep their problem solving and
mathematics on the edge. Can anyone solve the problems? The
problems range in difficulty and for many the experience is
inductive chain learning. That is, by solving one p
