The primary reason I bought my iPad Pro was the pencil and to take mathematics notes. One of my last professors at University had the iPad Pro and he would display it on the projector and write in the default notes app. It was for computational geometry and the teacher was more pseudocode focused, so he did lots of written algorithms and didn’t type or write code. I was very impressed by the functionality and he was able to share the notes with us which was nice. He would have used the whiteboard but it was a distance education class so some of the students who were at different campus locations couldn’t see very well when he wrote on the white board. The 12.9 inch display allows me to easily splitscreen a pdf and the built in notes app. I’ll also sometimes split my notes with brilliant.org’s app. I use it quite a bit to read PDFs by themselves as well. I finally found a good markdown notes app that lets me add katex into it too. So, I can type my notes if I want them to be formatted well. I use iCloud a lot and pay $0.99 per month for 50GB storage. iCloud is where I store all my notes and PDFs, because I’ll buy pdfs in bulk from Humble Bundle so they are easier to sync across devices with iCloud. Since I’ve purchased the new iPad Pro I’ve really appreciated their upgrade to the usb-c port. I have a MacBook Pro as well so I had already invested in a usb-c dongle which works for my iPad Pro too. I hear you can use storage devices now too from the usb-c port.
