Every moment of life we learn a lot. But what we learn, we rarely remember him. If we calculate, we can not even remember 10 percent of our own acquired knowledge. but why? The reason is that our brain mainly stores certain amount of information. And new information is stored in the brain as passing memories.
When these momentary memories are repeated over and over again, it is transformed into a chronic membrane in the brain. So if we do not repeat new learning material we forget it.
Well, with this forgotten or not, can there be any relation between mathematics or mathematics? Is it possible to explain the tendency to forget to be mathematical? In 1885 a German scientist Hermann Ebbinghaus founded a formula. He thinks it is possible to interpret the tendency of people to forget mathematically. Based on this concept he provided the formula. The formula is:
R = e-t / s
Here, R = brain holding capacity
T = time
S = Relative energy of memory
He published the formula through a chart, which is known as Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve.
According to this graph, when we learn a new thing, at that moment we have to remember the whole 100% after learning. But after 20 minutes, it only remembers 58%. Thus, after 6 days, only 25% remember. Most of the rest of the things do not remember. Because, these were stored in the brain as passing memories.
To keep things in mind for a long time, it has to be kept in the brain as a chronic memory. If you try to remember something with force, it is easy to forget. Because the brain takes some time to convert any information into memory. To remember, the normal functioning of the brain is interrupted.
So whatever we learn, we have to repeat it. As a result, it will be converted into chronic memories in the brain. The period in which it is repeated is called "memory time". The more "memory-period", the more information we can remember.
