<p>I know it's not 100% correct, and I know absolutely positively nobody here agrees with me in the slightest. But in my humblest of opinions, if you're committing items to memory, it's memorization.</p>

<p>Look at a chapter in a calculus book. just how many rules are there PER CHAPTER? how many different types of problems must these rules be applied to? Before you can do anything, you have to memorize that ****. I officially commenced sucking at math once it became less about my L33T mental math skills and more about memorizing the most utterly inane ish on the face of the planet, and applying it to various types of problems, with examples problems that skip critical steps and thus, with a dose of irony, are called critical thinking exercises. Fail.</p>

<p>I know no one here agrees with me in any way, shape, or form, and that I am, in the eyes of CC, wrong on all counts. I'm hoping for 1 or possibly 2 people to agree with me here.</p>

<p>You’re wrong.</p>

<p>Did your degree program not require you to commit anything to memory? what if you lost your memory on the day of an exam?</p>
