I'm a mathematician and I actually tried this in class. I can do it but I found it much more effective to write on paper. Yes, you get good-looking notes but in math, since everything is written down so nicely already somewhere, it's much better for understanding to write on paper for a lot of people (and the majority of people still use paper).
Plus, typing in class is annoying for others.
- palata 3y ago> Yes, you get good-looking notes but in math, since everything is written down so nicely already somewhere That was my first question as well: there shouldn't be a need to take notes because the class should be provided in a written form (a book, something). Such that the student can focus on understanding what's happening instead of just writing down what the teacher says. If taking notes helps understanding, that's different. But I doubt that writing in LateX particularly helps, on the contrary...

If you are writing down everything the teacher says, you aren't taking notes, you are transcribing a lecture. Taking notes should only be the highlights, key ideas, and things you didn't understand or misunderstood when you prepped for the lecture.
