How to use flash card for studying?

Flash cards are very useful learning tools. They can provide so-called "active recall". That means we can use them to recall our memory and understanding about the concepts, methods and subjects. Although very useful, its creation is a real challenge. How to create effective flash cards that can help us accelerate the learning procedure? I try to answer this question in this blog post. Flash cards are the most useful tools in asking questions. That means every flash card should be a question, like "Is Abraham Lincoln a good president?" or "What is 3+5?". Each question represents a certain category: definite question and open question . What is definite question? A definite question means that the answer is unique and determined.

Modify Jupyter Notebook

In this article, I will provide some methods to make the jupyter notebook the way you like.

BTW, I like dejavu font. Wrap the line: Usually when we write a very long statement, we want it to be wrapped in a certain length limit. We can modify the notebook.json file. The way to find your directory of notebook.json file is: jupyter --config-dir Then you will get the path for directory nbconfig folder, the notebook.json file is inside this folder. open notebook.json file, then add the following code:   "MarkdownCell": {     "cm_config": {       "lineWrapping": true     }   },   "CodeCell"...

And write something for your own needs. It can always be someone else's needs. When you are writing a book, know your audience . Ryan always thinks about that he is writing the book to the younger version of himself. Learn how to say "no" to things.
