Coming up with algorithms and mathematical methods to solve these problems is a fun and valuable exercise.

For students out there who are really interested in number theory type problems, like those in Project Euler, but want to spend more time looking at the math behind them, take a look at this link:

There are some very interesting problems and lessons presented for those up for a minor challenge.

NERD!
