The Today panel provides a couple of daily problems, and premium members can explore the problem archive.
Daily Problems include a bit of background information and then challenge kids to solve a quiz problem.
The Courses panel lists all available courses, broken down into Math, Science, and Computer Science topics.
Each course includes an introduction, informational text, quiz questions, and guided problems that include explanations of how to solve them.
Answer the questions and the site gives immediate feedback. Hyperlinked text connects to related pages.
Each concept is explained with text and a few diagrams, though most examples and explanations are saved for the quiz areas.
The Practice panel includes links to relevant courses, additional practice beyond the courses, and a detailed list of relevant wiki pages.
Practice includes games and puzzles to keep students engaged.
There's an active and helpful community that contributes problems, solutions, and discussions on all included topics.
Users can submit their own problems, add or contribute to the built-in wiki, or join a discussion on their favorite Brilliant subject.

It's a great place for students to stretch their intellectual muscles.
Brilliant is a great way to allow advanced students to go beyond the curriculum and try new things. It won't necessarily engage an uninterested student, but it does provide challenge to those who need it. And since it gives diagnostic pre-tests, it is good for multiple levels.
