       | This is nice. You can spread the word to r/bangalore and related
       | subs. But sure small communities sound like more fun than a big
       | one.
       | 
       | Are many of them programmers/techie or academicians?

       | Nice to see adults (re)learning math. It's one of the rare
       | subjects that are guaranteed to provide "knowledge buzz" and also
       | widely applicable.
       | 
       | <shameless plug>For other adults interested in learning math,
       | check out my (nonfree) book here: https://noBSmath.com/ PDF
       | preview and sample chapter:

       | also have a longer book that includes calculus and physics (cf.
       | links in profile). </shameless plug>

       | inseparable from collaboration since Ethen.

       | unpretentious math club?

       | I don't know why but actually rendering the equations (mathjax?
       | didn't check) is such an eye-catching way to see those problems
       | in a feed like that, and having it almost mimic HN with a comment
       | section is awesome. This is super cool!
