My attempts to learn Clojure and solve weird math problems at the same time.

A not-very-good coder's experiments with Clojure and Project Euler

So this is my attempt to learn some Clojure via the programming problems at Project Euler.

I'd be a filthy liar if I didn't acknowledge the immense help I got from the clojure-euler wiki. Some of these solutions will look like they're basically cribbed from there - and, well, they sometimes are. My goal here was not to flex my coder muscles and prove my badassness by solving everything without any assistance - rather, I've been trying to learn Clojure and get my head around some interesting algorithmic/mathematic problems. So yeah, if I was stuck, I looked at solutions - but then I did my best to build out how someone else had solved the problem myself, so that I'd actually learn something.

I meant to keep my work in here as much as possible - including my aborted attempts and my kinda sad attempts to remember how to solve quadratic equations, but not everything actually stuck around. Also, the comments - yeah, not the most useful in the world, but hopefully they can entertain a little.
