Question

How do you guys memorize formulas?

Answer 1

Sometimes there are clever little acronyms for these popular math tricks.
Sometimes I come up with my own.

What formulas are you trying to remember? :O)

Answer 2

for me it's just practicing the same problem over n over n over again (relating the formula)
It does help to know what you are trying to memorize :)

Answer 3

Things like sequence formulas (arithmetic and geometric recursive and iteraive), Area and perimeter of different shapes and just things to refer to.

Answer 4

I memorize formulas when I do my homework. Before I write the problem, I write the formula I will use to solve it for every problem in the homework set. Usually by the end of my assignment I have them memorized, but I brush up before a test.

Answer 5

Just practice more relating to the formula you want to memorize :)

Answer 6

As @Alphabet_Sam said. :)
also if you really want to go over board try making flashcards :P
Formula on the back name of formula on the front practing is better though

Answer 7

Mnemonic devices. Putting them into little songs.

Answer 8

Awesome! Seems like good ideas, Ill definitely try it. Thanks everyone!

Answer 9

As often as you're able,
try to get a grasp of the intuition behind the formula.

For example, I ALWAYS forget the geometric and arithmetic formulas for sequences.

But I know that for arithmetic, I have to add something each time.
a2 = a1+d
a3 = a1+2d
...
and you can come up with the formula on the fly, no memorization needed.
an=a1+(n-1)d

just an idea :))
