- How did you find PF?
- I found PF while I was searching for a book on google on day. A forum thread came up in the search results.
Hey everyone.
I joined the site because I have a question that I will not ask here, and also because I have a genuine interest in physics. I have only used books to learn mathematics, and have never taken a mathematics course.
I wrote a computer program in C# that teaches me almost anything that I want to learn.
I don't use it for learning anything dealing with computer programming. I currently only use it to learn mathematics. It calculates the forgetting curve, and calculates the intervals to space the repetitions of study rehearsals for each item that I study. It does not use the forgetting curves for anything, but it does calculate them.
If anyone is interested, then here is the program:
https://www.github.com/Dartomic/GlideCLI
I found that the calculation for easiness factor in this research article, https://github.com/Dartomic/GlideCLI/blob/master/easinessFactor.pdf, is the incorrect formula to use for the calculation of difficulty. I wrote the correct way to do it in my program, and it is calculated in a function called TopicDifficulty, which starts at line 675 on this page: here. I explain the logic of the calculation, and why the easiness factor paper is incorrect here: https://github.com/Dartomic/GlideCLI/blob/master/Manual.pdf My program is more precise than Anki, and SuperMemo. I was not aware of either of those programs when I started writing GlideCLI.
I'll be re-writing this in the C language once I get around to it.
I am currently re-learning Calculus and Analytical Geometry.
I learned this about 4 years ago, but I forgot a lot of it from lack of use, so I've been using my program to relearn everything. I'm hoping that I can get a job as a math tutor once I'm finished with the book again.
I do not know physics, and I have never taken a physics class.
But I did read Albert Einstein's theories of relativity. The thought experiments were a lot of fun. I would like to learn a lot of physics. I want to write computer programs that deal with physics.
I hope my introduction was not too boring.
