Re: What is useful to memorize?
No one is good at math, they just think they are. Some are better than others.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: What is useful to memorize?
It could be useful to remember some trig identities or trig values. Though many of the common ones can be memorized through practice.

Re: What is useful to memorize?
bleh I don't like trig. I will memorise them when I start doing trig. Focusing on algebra right now. Thanks for the tips though.
