About Delta (Δ)
In Physics, the Greek letter Delta (Δ) represents

This app is built on that principle. By identifying your weak spots and targeting them with specific practice, you can measure the "rate of change" of your knowledge.
Small, consistent changes in your study habits will lead to a significant change in your final grade.
