One day , I'll make an Anki version of this.
Speaking of, can anyone commend some good Anki mathematics decks?

#83When I was studying mathematical physics, my classmates and I made similar quick reference notes in latex. Based on a cursory look, it seems to be missing some important complex analysis and abstract algebra/lie theory results (although I haven't read what the author studied).
Searching for stuff I've used, this document is also quite light on combinatorics, complexity theory, and order theory (and of stuff I haven't used much, I don't see anything on category theory or topology). I don't think 330 pages is nearly enough to be truly all-in-one.

#85I got a B in probability because I didn't write a proof of the central limit theorem on the allowed cheat sheet for the final exam. So of course it's the first thing I looked for on this one. It's not there.
A B is like 80% or so, judging from A being the best iirc? I'm not familiar with alphanumeric grading systems.
Things can get a bit customized at either end of the spectrum, but generally each letter covers 15%, with A..D covering the span 100% to 40%.
So a B would be 70 to 85.

#86I really didn't want to be that guy, and props for the author for such comprehensive reference work, but god, what an appalling typography. Bad tables with too many lines bitmap formulas with misadjusted size, poor spacing, ugly font... Almost everything that could be wrong is wrong.
If I had only read this comment and didn't look into the PDF, I'd have thought it indeed have some appalling typography -- as opposed to some minor nitpicks I wouldn't even care about...

#87Earlier quoted context omitted.
The sort of ~100 page softcover reference book that we were permitted to use in highschool math, physics, and chemistry exams is called around here, literally translated, a book of tables. The term is probably a remnant from a time before pocket calculators when it contained actual trig and log tables. "Book of formulas" would probably be a more apt name nowadays. Not sure if there's a common word for such a thing in…
This kind of thing? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abramowitz_and_Stegun I'm not sure there's really an English word for it. That's strange.
I guess, but a very abridged version. It contains highschool-level things like trig identities, integration rules, fundamental physics and chemistry equations, values for various constants, and so on. It’s published by the national association of science teachers. The idea is making exams more about how knowledge is applied than rote memorization.

#88Making your own cheat sheet is half the battle when you are trying to learn the topic. I remember in my 4th year Stochastic Processes class [0] (back in 2005, wow) we could bring in a double sided page of notes. I wrote my sheet up in LaTeX [1] and shared it with the class, of course this made it better by having others contribute. Some didn’t understand why I would “help others out” by giving it away, but I never understood that, like a page of formulae are going to get you an A (also why not help others out?).
Of course after spending so much time developing the formula sheet and working through the example problems (always the most important thing you can do), I think I looked at the sheet twice in 3 hours during the exam.
Also, Dr. Glen Takahara, this class and your instruction are one of my fondest memories at Queen’s!
