Hi all, i'm new here and interested in learning Lean. Is there any upcoming zoom workshops? Thx! John

Hi John, welcome! There are no upcoming workshops like lftcm2020 planned, but the videos from that event are all on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mVOIGW5US4&list=PLlF-CfQhukNlxexiNJErGJd2dte_J1t1N&index=1&ab_channel=leanprovercommunity. The first thing people did at that workshop was play through the natural number game http://wwwf.imperial.ac.uk/~buzzard/xena/natural_number_game/. And there are other resources to learn Lean at https://leanprover-community.github.io/learn.html

We had talked, during the wrap-up for LftCM2020, about organising a zoom "office hours" on some regular basis. I wonder if we might pick that idea up again.

On Friday 5pm UK I'm giving a talk about equivalence relations in lean on the Discord and then we're splitting into small groups and working on problems with a group of more experienced people helping out beginners

Kevin Buzzard (Oct 15 2020 at 05:58):

I will be assuming people have played through NNG and know what an equivalence relation is. It's really a workshop for undergraduate mathematicians

Oh that's awesome @Alex J. Best thanks so much for the YT videos!
