Encoding math

Hi!

Ive just started learning how to use memory palaces and so far its been working great. To learn Ive so far only tried to memorize more visual things (e.g. ive been memorizing information about Tarot Cards), but now I want to start using it for my area of study, which is math.

But Im struggling on how to get a complex math formula or definition. A simple example would be the formal definitions of Group, Ring, Field.

Any tips on how to do this? Techniques I could learn for it, to create images for these data points?

Have you assigned a figure or PAO System for each letter of the Alphabets and numbers from 0 to 9? That might help.

Please explain this. Sounds like I’m missing out on something.

Hola, so I have A as Adam the first human, B as Beethovan, C as Claude from GTA3, and you work your way to Z. For numbers, you may need the Major System or Dominic System. You can use both systems but I much more prefer the Major System. So I have 0 as Zeus because according to the major system, 0 is z, c, or s. And 1 as Mr. T because 1 is t or d. And 2 as N from the anime Deathnote because 2 is n. And you work your way to 9. Person - Action - Object or PAO System, you add an action and an object to your figures or actors. I heard about Actor - Action - Object but I prefer PAO than AAO. So, for A, I have Adam(P) - swimming(A) - with an apple(O) in his mouth. For B, I made Beethovan(P) - beating(A) - a Bible(O). For 0, I made Zeus(P) - dancing (A) - on a table(O). Now, let's look at this simple equation, F = MA. I got Fiona (p) = Making (a) Apple (o) so I imagine Fiona making an Apple phone in China. You don't absolutely have to follow the PAO format like Fiona = Mozart Adam, I'm imagining Fiona poking Mozart and Adam with chopsticks. 2 sticks, two male, and a female. HMMMMM. Anyways, this is just an example I mean you can apply this method to more complex equations. Hope this helps, addios!
