Yes. Do you want to become a scientist? If you do, you'll have to commit this to memory...well, after a while and after doing a bunch of problems, it will become second nature. I know it seems like a pain in the butt, however, it will make your life easier in the long run. If you're not into that type of memorization, then why not consider another major?

The metric system is the standard system of measurement in global science, so we Americans are the lucky recipients of such rogue memorization.

If a teacher makes you memorize any thing it is really pointless. When you get a job not matter what it is you can always look up the equation, conversion, or theory. Tests should be open book with very in depth problems to force you to understand the concept not memorize it.

Be thankful that's all you had to memorize! Our biology teacher used to give extra credit for bringing in "fresh" dead animals for us to dissect. We had a learning disabled farm boy in our class who used to bring in something every week. We dissected a chicken, an eel, a calf, and a sheep. When the teacher nicked the peritoneal cavity, the entire building had to be evacuated because of the smell! See how easy you have it! :)

Yeah and it's not really that complicated to memorize if you work out some practice problems.
