Math writing solutions I will begin to learn in the university next month and I would like to know what is the best way to write math except from handwriting? I am not sure if to use a mathematical software, digital pen or tablet.
My writing is unclear and unorganized, and I usually lose things like notebooks so I think it would be better if everything would be on a computer or a tablet.
i.e I need a comfortable technology that will allow easy writing of math in the university.
Please people who used such technology, reply and express how it was, and what kind of technology did you use during the time you wrote math in the university.
 A: I like using the variant of $\LaTeX$ known as
MathJax, which is used on this site.
For working offline,
I use qute, available for
Mac and Windows here:
http://www.inkcode.net/qute
I have developed techniques
for using qute in real-time
for entering my math.
Here are some of them:
If you enter an invalid formula,
qute will not display it.
So, when entering an expression
that needs to be complete,
I enter the frame first,
then fill it in.
For example,
to enter a fraction,
I first enter
"\frac{}{}"
and then fill in the
numerator and denominator.
I work in split-screen mode,
so I always see both the
input and the displayed math.
Since qute formats its input
one paragraph at a time,
remember that
Enter starts a new paragraph
and shift-enter starts a new line
in the current paragraph.
Also remember that
up and down arrow keys do not
go beyond the current paragraph.
Always save your work
(cmd-s on the Mac)
after every moderate change.
If you start a new file,
whatever you have been working on
will be lost if it has not been saved.
I save my work in a 
Dropbox directory
so I can access it anywhere.
The author of qute is
quite responsive to questions,
so if you have any problems or questions,
ask.
If I am working on a problem
for this site,
I create it in qute,
save it,
and then use the
"Publish" option
to copy it to the clipboard.
I then paste it
into the answer (or comment) box.
Feel free to ask any me questions
as comments on this answer.
I will do my best to answer them.
You can also email me at
mjcohen@acm.org,
but my answers here will be seen
by more people.
