<p>Yes, I’m definitely agreed about not using laptops for taking notes, unless one is very, very experienced with LaTeX (or MathType? I’ve never used it). But, for good-looking homework, it can never hurt to try LaTeX, given that everyone who’s looking to go into academia in the sciences - or possibly even in some humanities disciplines - will need to learn LaTeX, sooner or later. LaTeX is a macro of Donald Knuth’s TeX, which has a great website at <a href=“http://www.tug.org/[/url]”>http://www.tug.org/</a>, if you’re interested.</p>
