**Effective Learning Strategies:**
| Strategy | Effectiveness | Best For |
|----------|---------------|----------|
| Spaced Repetition | Very High | Memorization, languages |
| Active Recall | Very High | All learning |
| Interleaving | High | Problem-solving, math |
| Elaboration | High | Conceptual understanding |
| Dual Coding | High | Visual learners |
| Feynman Technique | High | Deep understanding |
| Mind Mapping | Medium | Organization, brainstorming |
### Spaced Repetition Algorithm
```python
# SuperMemo SM-2 Algorithm
def calculate_next_review(quality: int, repetitions: int,
easiness: float, interval: int) -> tuple:
"""
Calculate next review date using SM-2 algorithm.
Args:
quality: 0-5 (0=complete blackout, 5=perfect response)
repetitions: number of successful reviews
easiness: easiness factor (starts at 2.5)
interval: current interval in days
Returns:
(new_interval, new_repetitions, new_easiness)
"""
if quality >= 3: # Correct response
if repetitions == 0:
interval = 1
elif repetitions == 1:
interval = 6
else:
interval = round(interval * easiness)
repetitions += 1
easiness = easiness + (0.1 - (5 - quality) * (0.08 + (5 - quality) * 0.02))
else: # Incorrect response
repetitions = 0
interval = 1
easiness = max(1.3, easiness) # Minimum easiness
return interval, repetitions, easiness
```

v = v₀ + at (velocity)
x = x₀ + v₀t + ½at² (position)
v² = v₀² + 2a(x-x₀) (velocity-position)
F = ma (Newton's 2nd Law)
W = Fd cos(θ) (work)
KE = ½mv² (kinetic energy)
PE = mgh (potential energy)
ELECTROMAGNETISM
─────────────────────────────────
F = kq₁q₂/r² (Coulomb's Law)
