Study by subject
For each subject, what to learn by heart, how to turn it into cards, and an example card Lumi turns into questions.
Sciences
- MathematicsIn maths, what you memorise is definitions, theorems with their conditions, formulas and the steps of a method.
- Further mathematicsIn further maths, from A-level to AP-style courses, everything rests on precise statements and well-sorted cases.
- Mathematical analysisAnalysis is a subject of theorems, definitions full of quantifiers and classic expansions.
- AlgebraAlgebra is built on structures, definitions and theorems that chain together.
- GeometryIn geometry you need theorems, area and volume formulas and the properties of shapes at your fingertips.

- Management and accountingAccounting comes with definitions, equations and treatment rules to memorise.
- FinanceFinance mixes definitions and formulas you have to know before you start calculating.

Humanities and languages
- HistoryIn history, what you can learn by heart is the key dates, names, events and their causes.
- GeographyIn geography, what you memorise is places, benchmark figures, definitions and case-study examples.
