Maths Formulae (2 Viewers)

how does everyone remember all of the maths formulaes?
I'm having some trouble remembering the formulae in maths especially in trig and i was just interested in how everyone else remembers them like ASTC All Stations To Central (for the trig circle where All are positive, Sine only is positive etc.)

For me, i kind of just use them so much that i remember them.

Sometimes its kind of like a song, but without a beat ;P

Other times, giving the letters a meaning (what ever its called), you know, ASTC (except i remember that by A Silly Trigonometric Concept).

I dont really know how it works other times, im just lucky it does

 

[gurmies]

you should be able to mentally picture the deriving of each formula, otherwise you'll never understand what it is you are doing..

or just by dividing
by or


if she's just doing mathematics, it's more rote learning than having to be able to derive. many people just do it because it's better than general, or because it's assumed knowledge for their uni degree.

ASTC

All Stations To China

In A (0-90) All- Sine, Cos, Tan are +

In S (90-180) only Sine is +, everything else is negative-- Easy to Remember cause S for Sine.

In T (180-270) only Tan is +, everything else is negative-- Easy to Remember because T is for Tan.

In C (270-360) only Cos is +, everything else is negative-- Easy to Remember because C is for Cos.

not meaning to be rude, but the op stated that she knew that one already..........

We were given this amazing formula sheet that we were sworn not to show anyone...

But, in the weeks after the trias (assuming that youve learnt all your stuff) you should use them so many times that they are always in your head.

With the formulae, you should be more concerned with understanding how the formulae are derived and what relationships they are describing

That is actually a pretty genius way of remembering it. =P

Despite its cleverness, I wouldn't be able to memorise ANY formula using that kind of method...too hard for me.

I had a little formula book that I wrote them in (with exampels) and carried with me everywhere. When I had spare moments, it came out to be absorbed.

And if there are related formulae, only learn the basics and then what you can do to it to get the other formulae (like someone else said).

Thats a really really good way of doing it. I carry a notebook for general purposes these days and anytime i think of something or remember something i write it down. Its so helpful and accessible.

haha thanks =]]. can you tell i used to go to a girl's school?

 

[minijumbuk]

Don't ask how to. Just do it.

That is the way =)

True. Don't they give you formula sheets in the exam? In the USA they give you the formula sheet so you never have to remember. You only need to understand how to use them. They give you hard problem solving that you need to understand what you need to use.

When I try to learn formulae, I usually do many questions involving that formula.

in the exam you only get a list of standard integrals

i really like this idea ty, i've just started mine

they're rlly good, usin ur idea i made up 2 more - but they're not quiete of your standard

cosec*theta=1/sin*theta
(co-workers are sexy when they sign their name)

cot*theta = 1/tan*theta = cos*theta/sin*theta
(Scott is tanning with his cousin sine)

I just couldn't think of one for sec*theta = 1/cos*theta
