Repository containing Anki Flashcards & source code to revise Physics terms

Introduction

This repository has taken definitions outlined in Wikipedia's Glossary of physics and put them into a form which can be easily learnt/revised using Anki a cross platform app specifically designed for long term knowledge retention.

Notes

Please note the modifications which have been made & where you can find updates.

  1. The front of every card has "(Wikipedia Glossary of Physics)" appended to the end so that if you have any other words in your collection, the Wikipedia definition will still be added when importing it.
  2. Any updates or corrections to the deck will be available at https://github.com/darigovresearch/Wikipedia-Glossary-of-Physics-Flashcards/ so do return periodically to check if you have the latest version.

Feel free to share the deck and give the repository a star so more people are likely to see this work and can get the most out of it.

Usage

If you want to just learn the words, download Anki on your device of choice and open the .apkg file to add it into your collection. If you wish to build the deck from scratch you will need to import the .txt file via the desktop with HTML enabled and the separator to be "|".

Potential Improvements Yet to be Made

  1. To find a way to systematically pull the definitions from so that any corrections or additions are automatically updated.
  2. To be able to automatically sort the cards so that the words which are used most in the original work is displayed first for the user to learn.
