I’m studying concrete mathematics by Donald Knuth and I find myself consulting ChatGPT quite a lot. It’s an effective study partner in my opinion if used sincerely.

However I feel this approach is missing a core element of mathematics which is collaboration with other people.

I’ve tried to look on the main maths discord channel but the society is too big and my queries get drowned out. Is there a book specific forum out there that I can find targeted musings on the questions I’m trying to solve?

Perhaps this is an opportunity to start my own server?

Just letting my mind wonder a bit but requirements for such a server would be:

  • specific books
  • question numbers
  • maybe those two can be achieved with tagging
  • latex integration

You’d also imagine that to get a server like this to actually take off we must all decide we’re studying the same book
