Mnemonics are memory tricks often used in school and so in math classes. FOIL, PEMDAS, and sohcahtoa are some of the most iconic math mnemonics that come to mind. Despite the prevalence of the quadratic formula in school math, there is no famous mnemonic for this information! But one has shown up on reddit on r/mathmemes and r/mathjokes from an Class 10 book in India.
