Editors’ Choice

It’s one thing to get the right answer on a complicated math or science problem. It’s another to pore over the problem and learn about the “why?'” behind every step. Brilliant helps you do just that by giving you the space to stay sharp and dig into a range of topics (like classical mechanics or machine learning). Plus, you can always take things one step further by engaging with a community of likeminded folks who are just as eager to take on a challenge as they are discussing one.

54 years old & having fun improving my brain functions

I decided to conquer my fears of inadequacy and stay open to this app, and even in one week I can see how it’s paying off. About six months ago, I tried it but was quickly intimidated and even uninstalled the app. This time, however, I’m staying open and not judging myself when I get incorrect answers. (Although once I did judged the app developers for an “incorrect” answer of mine, but while writing a feedback to them for why their answer and explanation to their answer were incorrect, I realized why their answer was right and what I had missed in my own deductive training to have tracked the incorrect conclusion. LOL.) I do get a nice little dopamine hit though when I see that “Correct!” after hitting “submit.”

The program presents in a way that is really encouraging to just get in there and work my mind in new ways. I noticed I feel better and more organized in my thinking when I start my day with about 20+ minutes of these kinds of brain exercises in the morning. So I have my coffee and breakfast while working through some problems in a relaxed way.

I’m looking forward to trying other courses/programs after I finish the Logic one.

Math courses are excellent for visual learners, but logic needs work

I have a lifelong learning disability with math, but I've always wanted to understand it. I'm a visual learner, and I can't stand the pretentious lingo taught in school. Overall, Brilliant is perfect for my learning style. It does a great job helping me visualize mathematical concepts and make them more relatable in daily life. That said, the logic course needs work. It presupposes that you already have an intuitive understanding, which I don't, due to my learning disability. I think in pictures, not logically, and some of the answers to the questions are downright baffling. In some questions, they say they have provided all the information needed to make a logical conclusion, when in fact we have no proof whatsoever and can only speculate. They expect a correct answer to an impossible question. I can't recommend this course to anyone unfamiliar with logical reasoning, because you're on your own with no help, unlike the math courses. The math courses are much better overall. Unlike Khan Academy, they don't simply tell you you're wrong with no explanation. They point out exactly where you erred, or what you should notice, so you truly understand what you're learning. That doesn't make it easy, but it's very much worthwhile. I hope the developers will take this approach with the logic courses in the future.
