Spaced repetition can allow for infinite recall

Do you have any notes on how you studied? I’m interested in going back to math grad school but forgot everything from undergrad, basically.

Two articles I wrote at the time which hold up surprisingly well:

And an example of some of my cards:

If I'm being honest, I went overboard. Like I said, I literally memorized entire books. Entering cards into the system was the most difficult part. But it absolutely works! Had I stayed in academia, I would have loved to developed a set of flash cards to go along with course material.

Okay, so the idea is to get a math book and convert the definitions in it to flash cards?
