| yesterday | comment | added | gidds | “Like myself, they do not rely on their memory when doing math at all, only for me it was a conscious choice” — you sound like me at the start of my A-levels (that's age 16, doing further maths before uni)… That lasted until I did surprisingly badly in the end-of-term tests. Not only was there not enough time to derive the double-angle formulæ &c when needed; but you also needed to recognise all the formulæ when they turned up. And that needs memory. — After I bit the bullet and spent ages memorising all the relevant formulæ, I did a lot better. | |
