Typing formulas
-
I will start my study in autumn. So I am thinking about how to take notes during lecture but because I am going to study physics writing with keyboard is not an option because of the many formulas. I searched the internet and found the following product: Mobile Notetaker[^] by Pegasus. Does anyone has experiences with this device or know another way to get formulas into a notebook during lecture? Thanks.

Why not use something like LaTeX? You can type stuff in with the keyboard and it'll format things properly, if you're more advanced you can even cross reference stuff between the documents. There is a package for Windows called MiKTeX which works well.
Formula 1 - Short for "F1 Racing" - named after the standard "help" key in Windows, it's a sport where participants desperately search through software help files trying to find actual documentation. It's tedious and somewhat cruel, most matches ending in a draw as no participant is able to find anything helpful. - Shog9 Ed

What if I have to search for a special formula in my documents or if I want to change something later? Sure, pen and paper are very fast and easy to handle but a computer file is more comfortable. Furthermore electronic files can be copied and exchanged much better than paper sheets.

Pay attention in class. Take an occasional note with pen and paper. Most of the formulas are in the book. It's getting there you'll need to know. good luck with the studies... I've found a living worth working for, but I haven't found work worth living for. :beer:

There's Mathjournal[^] if you have a tablet. Looks super cool, not sure how useful it will be for anything other than showing off though :) Ryan

cross is out and write the new stuff next to it.

exchanging notes was something i never found necessary. dragging books around to class was enough of a hassle. having to deal with a laptop (always out of battery, more valuable than everything else i owned - combined) sounds like a nightmare. Cleek | Image Toolkits | Thumbnail maker

And look how far I have come! (Though to be honest I use pencil) College was the only place I found were you can talk during an exam so long as your not cheating.

Neither pen nor paper will talk to you during exam but there is Minesweeper. This is probably the reason why laptops are not allowed to be used for exam. :rolleyes:

I found that Pen/Pencil/Paper was the most flexible in class or the lab. I could jump all over the page and correct an item or add something I had missed when the professor went off on a tangent. Every afternoon/evening I would type my class notes on to cheap yellow paper and add any formulas by hand. (I was a math and econ major.) My typed notes were significantly better than the class notes because I was able to expand my notes to include much more detail (from memory) than I had had time to write. I was typing on a Smith-Corona portable typewriter. The computer we used was an IBM 1620 with 16K of core (ram). Good luck in school. HamCoder
