Step 2
Write the formula down several times on a piece of paper.

Step 3
Close your eyes and try to say the formula out loud.

Step 5
Work several practice problems using the formula. Application always helps with memorization.

Group the formulas you've learned into lessons. One group for a particular chapter, and another group for a different one. It's kind of like a filing system for your brain.
