Math Rules: Learn Essential Math Principles Easily

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding resources for essential math principles, including algebra, logarithms, differentiation, and more. Users recommend various tools such as Wikipedia for general rules, Khan Academy for visual learning, and Schaum's Outline's "The Mathematical Handbook of Formulas and Tables" as a comprehensive reference. The consensus emphasizes that while creating a personalized list of rules can enhance understanding, many prefer readily available resources due to time constraints, especially when preparing for exams.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with basic mathematical concepts such as algebra and differentiation.
  • Understanding of online educational resources like Khan Academy.
  • Knowledge of reference materials like Schaum's Outline.
  • Ability to navigate and utilize Wikipedia for academic topics.
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Schaum's Outline's "The Mathematical Handbook of Formulas and Tables" for comprehensive math rules.
  • Utilize Khan Academy for visual and verbal explanations of mathematical concepts.
  • Search for downloadable PDFs of math rule lists online for quick reference.
  • Investigate the Malmath app for interactive learning and practice in mathematics.
USEFUL FOR

Students preparing for math exams, educators seeking teaching resources, and anyone looking to consolidate their understanding of essential mathematical principles.

Hello, i just discovered this site and i love the work you guys are doing, helping people like me with math and physics etc.

I was wondering if anyone knows a website / list / etc with math-rules, like algebra, logarithms, power, rules for differentiation, elasticity, substitution, sequence, fractions and so on?

I would love a list with all the different rules, and am trying to avoid going through all my books to make it myself, so if anyone knows a good site / has a pdf or word document lying around i would love to know :)

I usually go to the wikipedia site for a general subfield (like logs or trig) to find a handy table with the familiar rules.
 
And Kahn academy for a visual / verbal - even the Unis recommend them.

In my opinion, going through the books and making the list for yourself is the absolute best way to learn the material: it forces you to synthesis and ponder the material at a slow-enough pace that your mind has a chance to absorb it properly.

Kahn academy is great, and i use it often for practice, but i just need a list of the different mathematical rules for different topics, since i have an exam coming up within the next couple of months. I can't memorize all the rules so a list would come in handy.

Thank you, i will definitely check it out, already found a pdf online of an old version.

I will take this into consideration, but since time is limited and I am a lazy bastard i might not get it done. Might take a look at the book recommended by jedishrfu and make my own list from there.

Thank you all, i think i got the answers i needed :)

I want to second Ray Vickson's notion. That has personally worked for me. I make posters of general mathematics ideas and hang them in my room.
 
I've downloaded malmath app from play store & found it amazing
