• Ask HN: What is a good website/app for math practice?

  I have always enjoyed using https://brilliant.org/ because it's interactive and very informative. Although it's not as interactive, https://artofproblemsolving.com/community offers a great community and valuable resources. - Source: Hacker News / 18 days ago

• Ask HN: Good sources of math exercises for ~10-17 y/o?

  I used Brilliant (https://brilliant.org/) with my kids and it was helpful, if only because they did try to explain some of the theory around the work in different ways. Considering your comment around videos and artwork, it might not be what you are after, but you can check out some of their free courses to get an idea of how they work. The biggest issue for me was that it is concept based rather than curriculum... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• on discouragement

  So, I started studying from the basics with brilliant.org about 4-5 months ago, starting right from the basics. I do it for 40-45 minutes every day, no exceptions, making it a priority just like reading books. From what I've observed so far, I enjoy it. Sometimes I do well, encountering old topics I've learned before. I dare say one of my hobbies is math study (i'm not sure how far I can go, but I ask myself how... Source: 7 months ago

• combining like bases with exponents when there's a fraction involved

  Can someone write this out in a super-explicit form to show me the rule for how to combine like bases - this is another brilliant.org question:. Source: 8 months ago

• Looking for a website to learn fundamentals

  I'm a chemical lab assistant and have worked in biochemistry/protein research for four years. I do good work, but I want to understand more background. Often, I don't get the theory behind my experiments. So, I want to build my fundamental knowledge and more. I liked brilliant.org. But there is no biochemistry. Do you know a similar website that would help me? I will also welcome more help. :). Source: 9 months ago

• Better than prompt engineering: just using these 6 snippets again and again

  A very practical background ;) I read tons about it ever since I started learning Mandarin 5 years ago. Eventually I turned the method that worked for me into an app (https://traverse.link/). Source: about 1 year ago

• Timeline

  I agree that spaced repetition is an effective method for studying, particularly when preparing for exams like the MCAT. Going through the r/MCAT subreddit is an excellent idea, as you can discover strategies that have worked for others and adapt them to your personal learning style. Additionally, I'd like to share an app I developed called Traverse, which combines mind mapping, note-taking, and flashcards in one... Source: about 1 year ago

• How to memorize metabolic pathways

  Visually map them out, and then test yourself on each step using map occlusion cards (you can use sw like traverse to create those). Source: about 1 year ago

• Effective Spaced Repetition

  If you're interested in a more visual approach you can try https://traverse.link/ - it's an app I created which has spaced repetition, but really its goal is to cover the whole learning process, so it also has mind mapping and note-taking so you get a big picture view of what you're learning, why reinforcing bottom-up with spaced repetition. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• I NEED HELP

  It seems like you have a solid study plan in place, using a combination of different resources and techniques. Since you mentioned that you find mind maps helpful, you might find an app called Traverse useful. It combines mind mapping, note-taking, and flashcards, allowing you to build a top-down big picture understanding of the material and then use active recall and spaced repetition flashcards to memorize the...
