Hey everyone!
I haven't had much experience with problems that mainly require math(number theory, combinatorics, algebra, etc.) and am looking for a nice collection of such problems.
Thanks in advance :)

Project euler?
ProjectEuler+ ?
Maybe projecteuler.net.

it is a collection of math problems on different websites .
On recent Insomnia quali. there were 3 math problems."Remember the name" was pure mathematical and too easy."Walter and Sklyer" had some simple combinatorial elements and finding modular inverse,nice medium problem in my opinion."Meth Cooking" also looks like mostly math problem but I came up with false conclusion on contest and after that couldn't make any progress :(
Total Meth was also a counting problem.
Good day to you,
well I found a few problems recently, but I can't guarantee that all will be "math you like" — anyway guess it won't harm anyone so here is a list:

I'm sorry but it is hard for me to guess what is/isn't math :'(
Anyway this is the list — so feel free to ignore the comments :P
Have nice day,
Good Luck to you!

The longest comment i have ever seen :)
I was very surprised that there are no topcoder problems in the very very long comment. Why? Topcoder has many mathematics-like problems.
Well,
I'm not a clever guy, so I wasn't able to manage to create account + the software (anyhow) on topcoder ... so I didn't solve any problems out there :/
With round 432 it looks like you are in luck.
I already gave the IndiaHacks finals, so I can't.
