This is so cool, and ambitious, as it takes high level vim skills to keep up with human explanations as well as high level latex skills. Recorded lectures probably makes this approach work well (since you could backtrack if required). I did uni in the days before recorded lectures, and if your scrawling pen/paper notes contained a typo in an equation there was no easy way to get the correction - you had to ask around or consult the lecturer during office hours. A PITA frankly. And that's if you noticed the equation might be wrong. There's such an incredible joy in good note taking. I only learned vim in the last year, and it increased my joy in programming immeasurably (well, I'd guess it about doubled if I had to quantify it). If I studied economics again, I'd 100% learn LaTeX so I could take math notes in the way the author has. They're beautiful and timeless (literally, if committed to source control).
