This program is called Mnemosyne. It’s basically an automated flashcard program. I find it very useful.
As it turns out, you can more efficiently memorize information if you can control how frequently you are tested on it.
You can download flash cards for certain things (i.e. learning a language), but more imporantly, you can make your own. In studying for my subject test, I just bought a chemistry GRE prep book and used that to make a card database that made it very easy for me to study every day. When you make your own cards, you can implement LaTeX to display equations within the program. In order for this to work, however, your computer needs to be able to read LaTeX formatting... the Mnemosyne website says that you should download MikTeX if you have Windows or MacTeX (and possibly dvipng...?) if you have a Mac. In any case, doing a Google search for Mnemosyne and LaTeX should get you the help you need.
