Does anyone have a math anki deck they'd be willing to share? I decided I wanted to create an anki deck with key theorems and definitions from analysis, topology, measure theory, probability theory, etc. so that I don't have to look them up every. single. time. But I figured someone might have already done this, so I figured I might ask. Even if your math anki deck doesn't overlap much with the deck I want to create, I'd still like to look at for ideas.
Thanks in advance!
I've done one for some of my first-year (i.e. easy) subjects: "Differential equations", "Groups" and "Numbers and Sets". Feel free to have a look and copy any that you want. Link. (Tell me if that link doesn't work, I haven't posted an Anki deck to the net before).
Thanks!
What version of Anki did you use? When I open it in Anki2, it finds 0 cards.
The old Anki. I hadn't realised there was a new version! I don't really have time to chase down what the problem is I'm afraid.
I've been experimenting lately with an Optimization deck, so far it's mostly about unconstrained optimization, Newton method, Conjugate Gradients, that sort of stuff, with some formulas added as pictures. If you're interested, I can upload it somewhere! (Note: it's for Anki2.)
I'd like to take a look at it, thanks!
You can embed latex code in the anki cards with the tags [latex] code here [/latex] instead of adding the formulas as pictures. I've started working on a sets and functions deck doing just this.
I have images because it was super easy to cut them from the lecture notes for the class (press hotkey, draw rectangle, and either ctrl-v or drop file from dock to anki, depending on whether on mac or linux). Also, does latex display work on phones? (ankidroid specifically.) Nevertheless, using latex seems to be the nicer solution indeed, especially if you plan to publish the result (I didn't).
(aand I sent a PM with the link)
You can get it to work by generating png images of the Latex fragments into a Dropbox account shared with the phone on PC. Last time I tried it, it was a bit tricky to get working.
Anki uses latex to create an image, which is then used in the deck. So I imagine that it will work exactly the same way that it would with your copied images.
