      I never try to remember equations… I always try to remember where they come from, what they mean and how to use them.

      I don’t really remember any equations…in which case I’ve obviously found them all very difficult to remember! I don’t use them in my job.

      I am not very good at remembering equations.
      My favorite equation is nλ = 2 d sin θ; this called Bragg equation.
      This simple equation relates the wavelength of the X-ray (λ) and the distance between atomic sheets (d) in a simple crystal to the angles (θ) at which an impinging X-ray beam would be reflected.

      The euations that I use at work are very simple and easy to remember, but generally I’m not good at remembering equations…
