Choose a kind of problem
16 kinds of problem in 4 subjects. Each takes your own numbers or invents fresh ones, and every step comes with its reason. The first example of every kind is free to read in full.

Real AnalysisLimits, continuity and integrals proved from the definitions, with every inequality justified.| SN | Topic | Problem type | What it solves | Actions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Limits from the definition | Limit of a sequence from the definition | Prove that a sequence of the form (an + b) / (cn + d) converges to its limit, using only the definition of convergence: for every tolerance epsilon, find the position M after which every term is within epsilon of the limit. | Open |
| 2 | Limits from the definition | Limit of a function from the epsilon-delta definition | Prove that a polynomial (a straight line, a quadratic or a cubic) has the limit you expect at a point, using only the epsilon-delta definition: for every output tolerance epsilon, find an input tolerance delta that guarantees it. | Open |
| 3 | The integral, built from nothing | Integral from the definition with upper and lower sums | Show from the definition that an increasing polynomial is Riemann integrable on an interval, and compute the integral exactly by trapping the area between lower and upper sums over n equal pieces. | Open |
| 4 | Proof by induction | Proof by induction for a sum | Find the closed formula for a sum such as 1 + 4 + 9 + ... + n squared, and prove it for every natural number n by mathematical induction, with every expansion in the inductive step written out. | Open |
