I am planning my laptop in all classes, for notetaking.
And i wonder if anyone can recommend a good program for taking Math-notes?
Thanks

For math notes I would just use a pencil and a notebook. I couldn't imagine trying to take math notes using a keyboard.

A pencil and a notebook? How primitive!! I use a pen and a Hard covered lecture
book! -
Best thign would probably be getting a wacom tablet and using evernote, or M$ onenote or something.
Either that or one of these things.
Writing math in text/word processing apps is way too slow and tedious for note-taking. -
I have MS OneNote. I'm not so sure it would help you take Math notes. I think writing them down by hand might be the most efficient.
There's another thread on the topic that suggests some interesting solutions here:

I once thaught of doing the same until I watched another comp-savvy student fall behind in class because of trying to keep pace with the prof.
However, trying the posted suggestions and with a lot of practice I suppose you can write them fast enough.
I simply choose the pen and paper method. Quick and easy. -
I've been studying this digital notepad:

When plugged in via USB, you can also use it as a digital pad like what computer artists use. When not plugged in, simply use paper to write notes on and it records everything. People seem to love this thing.
I'm a computer-savvy guy...I use my laptop in class for typing notes...however I've found that writing out diagrams requires paper and just one more thing I need to haul around (and remember) come study time. I've thought about this Adesso pad so all my notes are in OneNote. -
If you are skilled at programming, use LaTeX with the Vim editor. Your notes will look excellent.
-
For math, I would not use technology other than a graphing calculator. I take a lot of side notes and key down important shortcuts so I will have to go with the primitive paper and pencil.
-
Still, LaTeX is definitely the best option I know of when you want your math to look good, and still be somewhat easy to type in. (So very nice for reports or assignments, but I wouldnt bother for notes)
