It's more for memorization, but rule 1 applies. You can't learn something if you're not interested and the value of learning such a thing is negligible.
What I always do is associate it with a thing. It should be a conversation. You can also be reading things in the wrong order... sometimes you should try to be stuck on a different problem before approaching the problem with linear algebra and such. Learning linear algebra before meeting the problem is a terrible way to learn.
You can still learn with exercises to turn it into an instinct, similar to how kids learn ABCs and multiplication tables. But as you grow older, this becomes much less effective.
