Who is SOM? I googled it and came up with a huge list of different organisations.

This idea might be helpful sometimes, but much of the time the summary will not have the specific info you need. A short summary can only cover the basics. I can usually remember the basics from a class; it's the details I can't remember.

Hey Andrey, great idea.. This will help in easy retrieval of important concepts we learn in class.. the only hitch could be standardization of notes and ensuring that only the best get listed in this database.

I think accounting is funny, re: FCF; always trying to figure out what to do with the money you haven't earned yet. I know that you all think it's useful, but to me, it's not money until it's in the bank.

As for a way to remember your whole schooling, yes, I wish I could remember every thing I've ever known and I'm sure it would help me. But even if I had a one-page sheet to jog my memory about my classes in college, they were so long ago and most of that stuff I haven't missed needing. Yes, I would be better off to know it, but humans just aren't designed that well.

Dwane,

I'm pretty confident that in this case SOM stands for Yale School of Management.

This might be useful for some basic math classes. However, most topics change over time. When I found my old textbooks and the professors' accompanying lecture notes in subjects that pertain directly to my current career field, they were obsolete in many ways. Times really do change! Many courses such as business(management theories), new scientific findings (physics, astonomy), and even criteria for writing college term papers (English) are examples. The internet is a great source of knowledge. So many search engines, so many updates of fresh material. Never fear the internet is here!
