Making your own cheat sheet is half the battle when you are trying to learn the topic. I remember in my 4th year Stochastic Processes class [0] (back in 2005, wow) we could bring in a double sided page of notes. I wrote my sheet up in LaTeX [1] and shared it with the class, of course this made it better by having others contribute. Some didn’t understand why I would “help others out” by giving it away, but I never understood that, like a page of formulae are going to get you an A (also why not help others out?).

Of course after spending so much time developing the formula sheet and working through the example problems (always the most important thing you can do), I think I looked at the sheet twice in 3 hours during the exam.

Also, Dr. Glen Takahara, this class and your instruction are one of my fondest memories at Queen’s!
