Saving Trees With a Template

School is back in. This semester I’ve decided to try taking notes in my linear algebra class using my laptop instead of pencil and paper. This turns out to be a challenge because of the special symbols used in mathematics. LaTeX is is a typesetting system which allows users to create documents with nicely rendered mathematical text. With the help from some macro functions, I hope to be able to write LaTeX source code at or above the speed at which I normally write using a pencil.

To make things more fun, I’ve created a LaTeX template which styles the resulting PDF documents to look like sheets of engineer’s computation pad, complete with a hot cocoa stains.
