The maths sub-Reddit had a post on maths flash cards which prompted me to write a long comment worrying about the relationship between memorisation and understanding.
One thing I've thought would be good to have is a program that takes math formulas and damages them, to produce plausible, similar-looking formulas but with terms missing or altered. This would be used to make a set of flash cards where you have to distinguish between real and damaged formulas.
I think that you shouldn't keep false formulas so as to not accidentally learn them. In general, this sounds like you could hit on memetically strong corruptions which could contaminate your knowledge.
