| Jan 25, 2013 at 5:04 | comment | added | Jens | I've seen many note taking styles in class. I wouldn't recommend Mathematica for class notes because it doesn't have multiple Undo. It will drive you crazy. Use LyX instead. You can customize every last keyboard shortcut to the max, and it's got everything a real editor needs. But with any editor you still have the problem that you can't copy down graphics. That's why in an ideal world you should use a pen based solution (either digital as @MichaelStern said, or on real paper). | |

Improved readability; made title more descriptive

The recording is synchronized with your written notes, so you can later click on something you wrote and hear what the professor (or whoever) was saying at the time. | |
| Jan 25, 2013 at 3:33 | comment | added | Silvia | In class I will use old good pen and papers for notes. The reason is most like what Szabolcs said above. But when I'm in no hurry, I'm not only using Notebook for tech notes, but also using it for manual calculation. It is because I found it's dramatically faster for me to type formulas in Notebook than to write it with pen and draft papers. I think some efforts on remembering short-cuts are necessary, but they're absolutely well worth. I personally think the short-cut design in MMA is perfect! | |
| Jan 25, 2013 at 1:55 | comment | added | fizzix | That is what I'm looking for, but not enough tips. It is pretty difficult to do that in real time, it will take a few hours to just type that for me. I wonder how much attention is paid to class while taking notes like that. | |

| Jan 25, 2013 at 1:31 | comment | added | Szabolcs | Maybe I'm old fashioned but I think that nothing can replace pen and paper for taking notes in a math class (except maybe writing on a tablet computer with a pen). If the professor suddenly comes up with a non-standard notation or you need to make a quick sketch, you will need a pen. | |
