The Easiest Way to Create Math Flashcards

Creating professional math flashcards has never been easier. With our integrated flashcard system, you can transform complex mathematical concepts into digestible learning units in minutes. Follow this simple guide to leverage powerful features like LaTeX integration and AI-assisted creation.

Step 1: Access the Flashcard Section

Navigate to our dedicated Flashcard Section and click the "Create" button. Choose between two efficient creation methods:

Manual Creation

Ideal for custom formulas and specific concepts

Front: $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}$

Back: $1$ (Fundamental trigonometric limit)

PDF Conversion

Perfect for converting existing notes or textbooks

Supports PDF, DOCX, and Markdown files

Step 2: LaTeX Integration Made Simple

Our editor supports LaTeX math expressions using dollar-sign syntax. Wrap only mathematical expressions - not entire sentences - like this:

✅ Correct: $P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} p^k (1-p)^{n-k}$ (Only the mathematical formula is enclosed)

❌ Wrong: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} [...] \begin{document} $P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} p^k (1-p)^{n-k}$ \end{document} (Vollständiges LaTeX-Dokument inkl. Präambel)

Wichtig für korrekte Darstellung:

  • Enclose only mathematical expressions in $...$
  • No complete LaTeX documents or environments
  • No \usepackage declarations or \begin{...} blocks
  • Use backslashes for special characters: $\times$ instead of ×

Step 3: Enhanced Features

AI Assistance

Automatically generates flashcards from your notes

Spaced Repetition

Built-in scheduling based on memory science

Multi-Device Sync

Access your flashcards anywhere, anytime

Pro Tips for Effective Cards

  • Use cloze deletion for active recall: $f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}$
  • Add visual cues: Include diagrams for geometric proofs
  • Tag cards by difficulty level for smart filtering
  • Enable dark mode for better formula visibility
