Now, the method of Loci is probably the best you're gonna get.
Personally though I think it's important to analyze how you process things, for example do you 'see' mathematics and like... you see geometric shapes that are relevant to numbers, are you synesthesic and different numbers have different colors or maybe even flavors... even if you don't 'represent' mathematical concepts in your brain in this way it's important to pay attention to how your brain processes them and find the best way to leverage that.
>Have there been any legitimate studies done on this topic?Maybe check out Danielle Bassett's research on neurological structures and how they relate to discourse. Not exactly mathematics related, but first legit research I can think of
