The FOIL method is a special case of a more general method for multiplying algebraic expressions using the distributive law. The word FOIL was originally intended solely as a mnemonic for high-school students learning algebra. The term appears in William Betz's 1929 text Algebra for Today, where he states: [2]
In our example, the opposite corner to would be and the opposite corner for would be . In our example, an interim result would be: d U = − p d V + T d S {\displaystyle dU=-p\,dV+T\,dS} . Notice that the sign convention will affect only the coefficients, not the differentials.
A Magic Triangle image mnemonic - when the terms of Ohm's law are arranged in this configuration, covering the unknown gives the formula in terms of the remaining parameters. It can be adapted to similar equations e.g. F = ma, v = fλ, E = mcΔT, V = π r 2 h and τ = rF sinθ.
A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics. This article contains the list of certain mnemonics in chemistry.

The secret to this easy recipe lies in the tangy lemon-and-garlic drizzle that picks up the savory flavors left in the pan. Pan-searing chicken tenders locks in moisture while crisping up the outside.
It's clearly one of those mnemonics used only by those whose way of attempting to "learn" mathematics is phony: by memorizing. Adults (including, for example, 6-year-olds who wonder about these things) don't concern themselves with such things. Michael Hardy 18:27, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Knuckle mnemonic. A mnemonic for the number of days in each month uses the knuckles (and the dips between them) of two fists, held together, moving right from the left pinky knuckle. The raised knuckles can be seen as the 31-day months, the dips between them as the 30-day-months (and February). The gap between the hands ignored.
