Willkomen, bienvenue, welcome,
Im Cabaret, au Cabaret, to Cabaret!

We have a new subforum in the General Mathematics forum where we want to address young students (high school, undergraduates) to practice their abilities to write proper proofs, become sensible to conclusion chains, and to possible loopholes in arguments.

It is meant as a playground, which is why the monthly challenge threads can now be found in there, too. The idea is: better practice here than find out how to do after an exam.

I hope that seniors, students or science advisors will contribute questions and challenges about particular proof methods now and then. For the details how it is supposed to be used see
https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/math-proof-training-camp-and-practice-guidelines.992543/

Have fun and stay curious!

Here are two starter threads for all who want to give it a try:
The most elementary proof
What have you proven?

The way the "subforum" is placed makes it look like it is really a separate topic within the "General Math" forum or subforum. Maybe I am misunderstanding methods of classification.
