Hey,


I know what RSM is: the Russian School of Math.


I know that the goal of RSM is to give an advanced Math education to their students, and the way to get this goal is in that 

          >>>  the students solve their problems ON THEIR OWN.  <<< 



I like the problems like these . . . And I love the forum "algebra.com" . . . 
And I love to help students in developing their skills in Math at the forum "algebra.com" . . . 



But I have a question: did they at RSM instructed you to go the forum "algebra.com" with their problems 
seeking for solutions from the outside ?



Did they allow you to go outside  with their problems and to bring them back the solved problems - solved not by you, 
but by others, and show these solutions as if it were you who solved them ?



Wouldn't it be across of their  AND YOUR  goals  to go in this way ?  ??   ???



Did they allow you to publish outside their intellectual property, in general ?
