When your knowledge of something is full of complex explanations and terms taken from textbooks, you're less likely to grasp it. You end up memorizing something exactly as it's written in a book or as the teacher explained it to you, so it doesn't take long for this knowledge to disappear. This is where the Feynman technique comes in.

The Feynman Technique 

Don't stop until you can explain what you've learned in simple terms. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as many times as you need. It probably won't take that long.

4) Organize And Review 

Explain the concept in your own words as if you were trying to teach it to a child. When trying to break things down into simple ideas with simple vocabulary, you'll realize whether or not your knowledge of the subject is sufficient. This makes it easy to identity any gaps in your knowledge.

2) Explain The Topics In Your Own Words.

This technique is not limited to mathematics or physics. You can apply it to anything. Choose a topic and study it thoroughly.

1) Choose A Topic And Start Studying It

When you can explain the subject in simple terms, only then will you understand it. This means the knowledge will stick with you and not disappear.Review your notes and study material for anything that you still don't understand and try to explain it to yourself in an easy way.

3) Go Back To Study Material When You Get Stuck.

The Feynman technique can be used to learn anything. It was devised by Nobel laureate Richard Feynman.  The idea is that when you can teach something in the simplest way possible,  you will master it. This technique has 4 steps.

Richard Feynman thought simplicity was key to learning: you truly understand a topic when you can explain it in the simplest way possible.
