The following is the source code for post >>>/math/251

Of course, I will make sure to do this, in fact, trying to memorize something that you don't understand will not work. Really, all Anki does, for me, is have me review the notes I made when reading textbooks, with the added benefit of scheduling what to review at what time; it's not really rote memorization. Every now and then, because I also put screenshots of the pages I extracted the information from on the back of the card as an extra (I won't try exactly recalling that, obviously), I realize something new/connections to newer cards in old cards/information.
And its reviews are perfect for me since they're completely devoid of any context. You're actively trying to recall a concept just as if a stranger randomly approached you on the street and asked you (this is really important. I had made the mistake of telling the program "good" when I couldn't recall it but the content, once shown to me, was familiar, before, which significantly slowed down my learning). As such, I believe active recall would rather aid the ability to replicate it on demand as it has you replicate/recall it, and that just when you're about to forget it.

I'll try it out more seriously for math the next few months and report back.
