I wonder how well something like this would work for doing math.
Say, for example, a word problem, or a proof. You often need more than one sheet of paper for a problem, but if you're using a notebook, it becomes painful to try to concentrate on what you're doing while also flipping back to the previous page to look at something you need.
If you work the problems on separate detached sheets, you have more flexibility, but you end up with separate detached sheets :).
A computerized tablet interface could solve all these problems and automatically organize the finished work for you. But it would have to not SCREW UP all the symbols you'd be writing.
Has anyone here successfully used Pencil or any other stylus/tablet combination for doing math?
- notphilip 13y agoSurface Pro (or any windows tablet with a wacom-like stylus) with Onenote addresses all of these issues. Especially since you can easily screengrab portions of the screen (e.g., a relevant theorem from a pdf) and 'print' anything to any onenote page, it's really clean and easy to get all relevant content in one place. It also makes your handwriting and printouts searchable. I also really like using the webcam to take pictures of whiteboards/lecture slides to annotate on top of (really helpful for 'old school' classes or Professors that don't share their slides).
- egypturnash 13y agoPencil was just announced today, so nobody will have used it yet. You might want to try Adobe Ideas and a stylus for this; it offers a huge, scalable canvas that you can scroll around in.
