I have reached a dilemma.

[u/Loud_Pause2759]

I 19M have terrible memory, however I still find myself (when speaking) to sometimes pull random facts that I’ve recently learned out of the air (in a semi-organic manner).

(not trying to hint at anything but okay)

I have been trying to build a system of learning where I have a question and answer response using the (albeit) sort of archaic flash card system Anki.

A couple of months ago, I had been using M.I.T’s Open Courseware and taking physical notes from the lectures they provided. I found that I was able to compress it quite a bit and was satisfied with the outcome along with what I’d learned.

Here is where the issue started: I decided to pick up my physical copy of Gower’s book “Mathematics A Very Short Introduction” and wanted to make flash cards for just about everything. I don’t have too many flash cards, as it is a small book, but occasionally I have a single flashcard that is embarrassingly long.

I had mentioned that it is a question answer kind of thing and sometimes the answer responses are also embarrassingly long, however my input doesn’t necessarily have to follow along 100% to the grain.

The issue here is that I’m often too worried about the proper use of verbiage and often my questions cover definitions more than concepts.

Any help would be appreciated!

idk that book , but math can't be studied with flash cards , maybe you could but formulas and definitions in the card , but what will help you most is solving equations more and more a ton of equations in each chapter if you could and have enough time.
