Project Euler is a lot of fun if you like a dash of math in your programming. The problems generally won't apply to your job or even to interviews, so don't go in expecting that.

My favorite is https://projecteuler.net/problem=113, "Non-Bouncy Numbers." It takes some clever tricks to figure out but doesn't require any significant background knowledge, and the optimizations required to get it to run within 60 seconds (at least for my approach) all felt reasonable.

More than a dash. I would describe Project Euler as math problems that you need a computer to solve.
