I have some questions. How do people memorize formulas and does visualizing them help? In what ways do you visualize formulas? Also it seems like my teacher just picks and chooses which decimal place to continue the formula from and I am having trouble determining if I calculate to the 3rd or 7th or 8th decimal at given points.

I just never know what to do and when. I google the concepts and its like the calculators for "annuities and investments" are totally different than the formulas Im given because I get different answers. I watch videos and people just go from A to Z and I'm like wtf why are you suddenly dealing with Z what about B..
and C.... Etc

Stop watching porn. Reduce or eliminate masturbation (sex too but people are too NPC to realize this has deleterious effects also). Then get a prescription for amphetamines and start taking them. This is how you'll learn anything and conquer the world if you want.

Ok but maybe people have techniques they use that help them with formulas? When reading a book you imagine a character based on the description. I feel like for math im poorly imagining the descriptions and its weakening my learning. I want to know the tricks others use.

Associations. When something starts to make sense, think of another aspect from life that relates to it.
Always keep the bases of what you're doing in front of your eyes. I mean setting your phone background to that formula/diagram, or printing it out and hanging it on your wall.
Repetition. This is the simplest one but also the most important one. Just do examples. Even when you get bored because it's "too easy" just keep finding more examples to do. Chances are, you will find an example that uses an important feature that was not utilized in previous examples.

you don't memorize formulas, you understand concepts. then you derive the formulas whenever you need them

Okay so you need to memorize stuff and everyone itt is trying to be a physics chad without comprehension.

The first real thing is:
1. Sleep
2. Exercise (cardio)
3. Water
A good rule of thumb is every 45 min if studying take a 15 min walk/jog and ruminate on what you learned. Ensure you get a full night's rest, sleep deprivation can last 3 days. A neat trick is to study and think about something right before taking asleep, things right before bed encode into long term memory well.

Encoding this information into long term is hard, that's where I have my most struggles personally. There are a variety of techniques around this that settle into a couple broad categories
1. Association
2. Effort
3. Repetition

For association you can use something like a memory palace, there's a nifty ted talk to get you started on it. It shifts your normal memory into spatial memory. Then there are the more abstract, like chewing a flavor of him while studying a specific subject or wearing a specific outfit for it or even a song. Something unique that won't be associated with other things.

Effort, always effort. So I got dysgraphia and it was a real curse growing up. But as an adult I realized it can be quite useful for remembering things. As we attempt to learn something, the more effort we put into learning it the better it turns out. People remember textbooks written in comic sans better because it's more difficult to read. When I take notes by hand I remember better because of how hard it is for me and how much effort I put in. Write out questions based around the problem and solve them. Try to explain it to a child

Repetition, this is just the act of copying it to yourself. There are a couple different methods but I liked the flash cards that were sorted day week two week month. If I remembered it I would put it in the next pile, if I forgot it came earlier. Don't stop there, find ways to repeat to yourself as you walk by relating the information to three world around you.
