Download Brilliant: Learn by doing on PC

I recently downloaded this app on a whim because I saw it advertised by someone who does extremely helpful tutorials on YouTube. Bottom line, this is an expensive but highly intuitive learning software which will give you a decent grasp on various concepts in math and science. Obviously, this won't be a replacement for a class, especially if you are pursuing a degree. But if you need to brush up on something or you want to learn a little coding, I would definitely try it.

After trying it out for a few months I'd say Brilliant is good for those wanting an introduction to subjects. It's does not hold up well when you need deeper learning. The pace of lessons can be wildly inconsistent. Sometimes content is presented in small digestible parts. Often times leading questions are asked which can be a bit discouraging because the foundation hasn't been properly established to independently tackle those problems (yet). Worth a try but Khan Academy is a better value.

I'm somewhat disappointed in the course selection and wish the courses would go further and teach more. They're great for a cursory introduction, but you're left wanting more. My biggest disappointment is their use of advertisement trackers. As if their subscription isn't already expensive, they subvert your privacy to make more money by letting Google spy on you while the app is open. If you protect your privacy by blocking these tracking requests, the app is very, very slow to load courses.
