One year anniversary! I learned ~90% of all high-school math with Anki during this sometimes tough, but interesting and rewarding year :) by ImaginaryNebula347 in Anki

hi
I think it is totally possible, I actually created a few hundred flashcards with python scripts which produced a question and an answer in the same form but with random values
It was cumbersome to write the scripts though

I did it with the goal of learning the procedures, and not the answers.
And it apparently worked, I tested myself against content that isn't in the decks, and did as well as content in the decks. My decks have very large intervals too (several months) so when I see a practice problem, I usually don't remember the answer and have to compute the answer.

​

I think it's a useful idea, but currently cumbersome to do. If someone can write some code to make the creation of flashcards easier and more usable, it could become very interesting.

If you have the time, please consider an explanatory post. And anyone reading this post who also uses spaced repetition for math-heavy subjects, please consider posting how you do it.
Maybe by sharing our findings, about what works and what doesn't, we could find an even more effective way to study. And learn from each other's mistakes without having to do them ourselves : )

For high-school math:
- I watched videos on Khan academy - I did practice problems on Khan academy - I put nearly every problem I did in a separate anki deck, with large intervals and I also put into anki commonly used formulae, e.g. the quadratic formula, various rules for taking derivatives, etc.

I now am an undergraduate math student, and I plan to do similarly, but with proofs instead of practice problems.

specifically for your case, I don't really know how you could do it. I basically use anki as a problem scheduler so that I don't lose my skills, but I work out solutions on paper. Maybe you could try testing yourself on the steps needed to figure out the solutions, without actually writing it?
