How Erudia teaches

Built to be understood — and remembered.

Every idea is taught with motivation and a worked example before the drills, and an FSRS spaced-repetition engine schedules each review for the day its model predicts you would forget it. A short placement check finds what you already know, so you start Abstract Algebra exactly where it's useful.
