The study app built for maths students

Proofs, calculus and stats — practised until they are second nature. Upload your own lectures and notes and Milli turns them into mathematics flashcards, quizzes and lessons in about 60 seconds.

Whether it is calculus, linear algebra or statistics, maths rewards deliberate practice over passive review. The Study Mill turns your own lecture notes and problem sheets into step-by-step explanations, practice questions and flashcards for key theorems — so you build fluency instead of just following along.

How mathematics is examined

What mathematics exams actually ask of you

Maths is the subject where passive revision fails most obviously. Reading a solution produces a strong feeling of understanding and almost no ability to reproduce it.

01

Computation questions

Integrate this, diagonalise that. Speed and accuracy come only from reps, and these are the marks you cannot afford to drop.

02

Proofs

Prove a statement, often a variant of one from lectures. What transfers is knowing which technique fits which claim — induction, contradiction, contrapositive, construction.

03

Applied and modelling problems

A worded scenario you must translate into mathematics first. The translation is where most marks are lost, well before any calculation.

The Study Mill generates questions in these formats from your own material — so practice looks like the exam, not like a glossary.

Real output

What it builds from a mathematics lecture

Two examples of what comes back after you upload a set of mathematics slides. Generated from your material, phrased the way your course tests it.

Flashcard

When may you apply L'Hôpital's rule?

Only when the limit is in an indeterminate form — 0/0 or ∞/∞ — with f and g differentiable on an interval around the point (except possibly at it) and g′(x) ≠ 0 there. Applying it to a limit that is not indeterminate is a common and heavily penalised error.

Quiz question

Is the set {(x, y) ∈ ℝ² : x + y = 1} a subspace of ℝ²?

No. A subspace must contain the zero vector, and (0, 0) fails the condition since 0 + 0 = 0 ≠ 1. It is an affine line, not a subspace — the parallel line x + y = 0 is the subspace.

How to actually study mathematics

Maths is not a spectator sport: you cannot learn it by reading solutions, only by solving problems yourself.

1

Practise, do not just read

Reading a worked solution feels productive but re-solving it is what makes it stick.

2

Know each theorem’s job

For every result, learn when and why you would use it, not just its statement.

3

Redo the ones you missed

Keep a list of problems you got wrong and return to them a few days later.

Questions

Mathematics study app — common questions

Can it generate practice problems from my lecture notes?

Yes, and that is the main use case for maths. It reads your notes or problem sheet and produces fresh questions of the same type at the same difficulty — so you get unlimited reps on the exact material your unit covers, rather than a textbook whose notation differs from your lecturer's.

Does it show the full working?

Yes. Each generated question comes with a step-by-step solution, and you can ask Milli why a particular step follows. That said, read the solution only after attempting the problem — reading first produces the illusion of understanding without the ability to reproduce it.

Will it help with proofs?

Partly. It is genuinely good at explaining which proof technique suits which kind of claim, and at generating flashcards for theorem statements and their conditions — which is where most marks are lost. Constructing a novel proof is still a skill you build by writing them yourself.

Is it useful for statistics as well as pure maths?

Yes, and arguably more so. Statistics has a large conceptual layer — what a test assumes, when it breaks, what a p-value does and does not mean — that generates well as flashcards and explanations, alongside the calculation practice.
