Ask NRICH - the Ask-a-Mathematician service

If you have a question about a particular mathematical problem, or about mathematics in general, Ask NRICH is the place to be.

Our team will do their best to help you. They are not here to give you answers to questions, but they will help you to make sense of the mathematics involved and to use what you know to think your way through the problems yourself.

They are very quick and friendly! Most questions get a useful reply within the day.

There are four main places to go:

Please explain - for the sort of mathematics discussed up to the age of 15 or 16.
Onwards and Upwards - for anything that is usually encountered at ages 16 - 18.
Higher dimension - for those at university studying mathematics.
Maths in science and other subjects - For mathematical questions concerning other school subjects.

Anyone can read the posts on Ask NRICH but if you want to ask a question you have to register.
Click on the link at the top right.

We do recommend that you have a look in About Ask NRICH before you begin posting, particularly at Getting started.

NRICH is our parent site, which has loads of mathematics resources for all ages.
