ANKI flashcards + maths degree, advice please

Hi

I am in my third year of a maths degree and want to do well this year, of course

Ive used ANkI in the past and I figure if I am to use it this year, its best to start early

Do you think it would work with a maths degree?

A maths degree isnt particularly fact or picture orientated and tye idea isnt memorisation

But perhaps it would be good for key definitions of underlying concepts.

Do you think this would be a good use of my time?


Really appreciate any help guys :-)

Maybe write questions on them like 'prove this theorem or that theorem' and on the back have good hints on how to go about it? And definitions too if they pop up.

Since maths uses a lot of symbols I think traditional flash cards would do .However for facts ,definitions ,explanations you could most definitely use it.

I don't do maths, but perhaps write out notes in anki (nice because it's far easier to write notes on a computer, and you could just change them.)

In a separate deck, include all the past paper questions/questions you can get your hand on. Then keep doing them (understanding the theory behind them at the same time.) Then you just revisit what you went wrong in PPQs, and you learn the correct way to do it.

edit: also remember, even after you've reviewed them, go back to the deck to see if any cards are due (I always forget to do this. ) So perhaps set a specific time (and be disciplined) and check for any cards due, biweekly etc. etc.

Thanks. Ive been using the method daily for this term
How many enw cards do you tend to put in a day?

So for the past paper method, you have the question as front card, and the answer as a back card? Obviosuly i cant recall a whole solution, so do you just work at it separetly and check you have the main points in the answer? It seems like a pretty good method actually.. Promping you to attempt questions

I usually just do the cards for that day
