It's a very fine compendium of notable relations.
At 212 pages long, it's certainly not a cheat-sheet.
If it didn't have obvious spelling errors I might be more confident the rest has been transcribed accurately.

#152Missing the cheats for division (how to rapidly tell if a number is divisible by 3, 7, 2, 5, etc. for prime factorization.)

#154Wow, I have to say I feel somewhat bad for the author who spent so much time (months?) compiling this semi-comprehensive reference work. There's so much information, but at the same time, so little useful information to any particular reader. It's so broad as to be a hindrance to using it in any sort of daily reference. Who would use this? Wouldn't you probably resort to a reference more specific to your field? Is th…
I have a copy of The Handbook of Mathematics, which is kind of a similar idea done commercially. It's genuinely useful, but the thing is that it's HUGE, well over 1000 pages. The main reason for this is that it is organized and fairly comprehensive, it's more of a reference than a cheat sheet. It has enough detail and depth that you can actually count on it to remind you of a subject you haven't had to use in a while.
The post here is really more like a true cheat sheet. Random topics and formulas thrown together without much organization or depth. You need to remember quite a lot already to be able to actually make use of any of this information, which to me kinda defeats the purpose. Another big problem is consistent and well-defined notation. This looks like it's copied and pasted from a lot of different sources, so you are going to have a bunch of different notational conventions that you will need to be conscious of.

Just use torrent! It's easy, and potentially free!
Distributing new versions is an issue though, as there is no way to tell anyone who is currently seeding the old torrent. But it's not a terrible idea if it turns out there is really a lot of bandwidth (I don't expect that), then I could use my server for seeding at least.
Hmm, that sounds like an interesting problem in itself, a torrent client that handles versioning and updates behind the scenes.

Well, I find it extremely useful. This is my new go-to item when someone asks me, "What would you bring with you if you could go back in time to the year 1600?"
I thought I was the only one who pondered that! I think we'd have even more fun times in 1st century CE Alexandria.
They'd burn you at the stake.

My advisor had material of this sort (eg lots of Runge Kutta schemes and theorems about RK conditions; also books of ODE/PDE solutions. It came useful when we were working intensively toward the end of my thesis.

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.
Shouldn't that sort of grading be on a bell curve? That would seem to be the fairest.
Based on my memory of what the teacher said in my statistics class in school, exam results in Scotland are normalized as z-scores vs that year's population. At least they were a zillion years ago.

I mean, thats essentially the apple app store right? Just with torrents and documents instead of apps? So like a freely distributed google docs, but for everything. That movie you downloaded a week ago got a better version, the sci-hub article you downloaded last week has commentary from the author or has been disputed, That microsoft office (excel, word, onenote) you've been working on with a group has a long revision history and automatic version control. You could even download the 'latest version' at 'run-time'; when you double click to open the document. There's a company, or atleast the very start of one in these ideas.

Wouldn't a book on microbiology be much more useful to humanity?
