User:By doing

This is (intended to be) a single-purpose account. As its name "by_doing" suggests, I try to understand, what really could it mean "learning by doing" in mathematics. Math is quite elitary. How can it happen that student and professor swap they roles?

But this happened easily on old math olympiads for middle school. There, math professionalism gave very little advantage. Such a problem is a "great equalizer".

I try one such "great equalizer" here (not from olympiad, though) in the hope to attract nearly anyone interested: student and professor, mathematician and poet, young and aged.

I understand that the result will be, most probably, nothing. I am ready. I spent about two days on this business, and will not be unhappy if this is futile.

I intentionally hide my personal data, so as not to damage this project.
