How to study mathematics
Maths is learned by doing problems, and nothing replaces that. What notes and questions can do is make sure you understand the definitions, theorems and methods before you start, so the problems teach you something instead of just stopping you.

Why it is hard to learn
- Definitions and theorems that must be exact
- Methods you need to recognise in an unfamiliar problem
- Each topic depends on the ones before it
- Exams that are mostly problems, not theory
A study plan that works
Get the theory straight
Upload the lecture or the chapter. Memo's notes write formulas out properly and explain what each definition and theorem says.
Learn the definitions and theorems
Put each one on a flashcard: the statement on one side, when to use it on the other.
Ask about the steps you do not follow
When a worked example skips a step, ask the chat on the note to explain it.
Then practise problems
Work through your problem sets and past papers. That part is yours, and it is the part the exam grades.
The study modes that fit best
Notes
For definitions, theorems and methods, written out clearly.
Flashcards
For the exact statements you have to know.
Quiz
To check you know which method fits which problem.
Mind map
To see how a chapter's ideas build on each other.
Questions
Can Memo solve my maths problems?
It can explain a step you are stuck on. But solving problems yourself is the practice that makes you good at maths, and it is what the exam grades.
Does Memo show formulas properly?
Yes. Formulas and equations in the notes are written out as maths, not as plain text.
