Hi, I have exams today and rest of the week, lots of them include equations that need to memorised. Does anyone have tips or how to approach memorising them?

thanks!

Alfalfa duplicates on balanced scales means:
a = a.

or

ALF holding a tiny swan up, a cross, then Bette Midler holding up a tiny swan blances the scales with a giant Cheeto holding up a tiny swan on the other side.

a^2+b^2=c^2

You undoubtedly have more complex equations to memorize, so I’ll just let you get back to encoding your own. :smiley_cat:

Thanks, this really helps; I couldn’t think of a good way of doing it. :+1:

I do a couple of things:

  • I simplify the form were possible. So a^2b^2 would be aabb
  • I mostly learn the derivation.
  • I lazily ignore hard symbols, so the quadratic formula, which is:

might get stored as x=bbb4ac2a on the basis that I can probably work out the rest of the structure when I needed it.

Negaitve B plus or minus the square root of b squared minus four ac all over 2 a (too the tune of pop goes the weasel)
