Sure you have to learn a few peg words for a few mathematical functions. But I think it is worth the effort. |
That is an interesting idea...I may give it a try when studying for exams.
One thing I have trouble with in the math stuff is that there may be no particular reason for one equation to have x^2 and not just x, for example, so even when using such a technique it can get confusing, e.g. when recalling an equation "was the X animal there once or twice". Nevertheless, I like the idea...

But I would also look forward to Steve presenting the mnemonic devices he used in his college years.

Yeah me too. Also to anyone else who studies math/physics or any other subjects where equations have to be learned, I am interested to hear your methods. I agree with the OP that this subject is lacking in the memory-technique literature ...I have read books by Lorayne, Dominic O'Brien, and others, and this type of stuff isn't given much if any discussion...
