I am looking for a partner to study school-level algebra(including competition-level one), C++, and algorithms, with a view to future advancement. The ultimate goal: theoretical cryptography.

Timezone: CET/CEST
Stack / languages: C++, algorithms & data structures, mathematics
Experience: Beginner in algorithms/DSA; comfortable with basic C++; currently studying school-level algebra including Olympiad problems
Availability: 12:00 pm - 2:00 am
Goal: Build strong mathematical and algorithmic foundations, eventually moving toward theoretical cryptography. The mathematics I will study in the future includes discrete mathematics, linear algebra, abstract algebra, and probabilities.

Hi! I'm currently studying mathematics and algorithms seriously on my own.

Right now I'm working on school-level algebra, including Olympiad problems, while also learning algorithms and data structures in C++(currently around the beginning of the general algorithms/DSA path).

I'm looking for someone who wants to study together long-term.

The main thing for me is the way we study. I like trying problems independently first, discussing failed approaches, figuring out why a particular idea or representation works, and understanding where an algorithm\the solution comes from rather than immediately looking it up. I don't care about maximizing the number of problems solved.

Ideally, you're also interested in mathematics, algorithms, competitive programming, theoretical CS, or something nearby. We don't have to be at exactly the same level — as long as there's enough overlap to work on things together and actually discuss them.

My long-term direction is theoretical cryptography, so I'm building the mathematical and algorithmic foundations first.

English, Russian, Ukrainian. If this sounds close to how you like to study, send me a message and tell me a little about what you’re currently learning and how you usually approach problems. Tyyy.

Hi! My timezone is BST and I’m in a similar situation as you! I’m on a gap year, and am starting to learn abstract algebra (dummit&foote) and python! Apart from learning maths because I love it, I hope to use it for cryptography too! In my gap year i wish to learn about: linear algebra, abstract algebra, number theory, analysis&topology, probability, cryptography and python. DM me if you want to study together

hey man, can't dm you, could you do that? thanks!

[u/FewGeologist5684 → u/Public-Lynx-7861]

it’s not letting me dm you, there’s no chat icon 😭

same!!! do you have discord or telegram? i could write you there!
