The Renewal Equation

A math odyssey

Flash News

Today I spent a long time testing flash card apps and making electronic flash cards about various math information I’ve encountered during my review, such as details about conics and their significant points. I’m still not convinced I’d rather have these than physical flash cards, though they are more portable and easier to keep organized. Perhaps tomorrow I’ll make some physical flash cards as well and compare them.

(The app I eventually settled on is called Mochi.)

    how do you use flash cards?

      They have a prompt on one side, and a piece of information on the other. I look at the prompt and try to remember the information, then check on the back to see whether I got it right. If so, the flashcard goes in a pile for later review. If not, it goes in a pile for immediate review.
