Do you have any notes on how you studied? I’m interested in going back to math grad school but forgot everything from undergrad, basically.


Two articles I wrote at the time which hold up surprisingly well:

And an example of some of my cards:

If I'm being honest, I went overboard. Like I said, I literally memorized entire books. Entering cards into the system was the most difficult part. But it absolutely works! Had I stayed in academia, I would have loved to developed a set of flash cards to go along with course material.


Okay, so the idea is to get a math book and convert the definitions in it to flash cards?


Thank you
