I am taking a Math course as part of a Data Science curriculum. For the final project we have to solve a math problem in Python and write it up. I chose Project Euler 215 Crack-free Walls, my course instructor advised me to look for broader mathematical implications of the solution, but I am drawing a blank on that. I use combinatorics (coin change problem) to form the possible rows and then summing the end position of the bricks to form sets that I then check for disjointedness, thus no cracks. So apart from the considerable programming challenge for a novice I am covering some combinatorics and some set theory. But are there any broader mathematical applications of this problem (or similar) that I can research?
