I'm very interested in this, but I need to be able to write down equations.
Is there any good note-taking software where I can write equations, either as latex or something similar?
Thanks =)
- chronomex 17y agoWhen I was taking physics courses, I took notes in plain text files with TeX formatted equations inline. I could write them almost as fast as the professor was writing them on the board. They were even modestly readable, so long as I took care to insert meaningful whitespace.
- zzleeper 17y agoThanks! (And for viewing.. u exported them to pdf?)
- slug 17y agoI prefer to use straight tex files when math equations are needed. If your emacs is properly configured (auctex + reftex + preview) you can preview the equations while typing. C-c C-p C-{p,r,s,d,b,etc}. I'm running emacs 23.x here. org-mode also supports embedded latex formulae with preview! http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/org/Processing-LaTeX-fragments.html#Processing-LaTeX-fragments http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/org/Proce...
- jff 17y agoI have tried taking notes on a laptop, but it just doesn't work so for a computer engineer. Yes, as another commenter mentioned, you can write TeX formatted equations, but I also need to be able to draw circuit diagrams, truth tables, and VLSI layouts. Now, as I'm going into grad school, I still take all my notes in a spiral notebook with either a fountain pen or a nice ballpoint.
