What is the best way to write lectures on a netbook?

The question is extremely relevant for me, as I caught myself typing much faster than I write for a long time. And in the first case, the result is consistently less clumsy. :)
The idea is that the main problem is in the diagrams and graphs. Well, convenient hotkeys for lists, headings and some other elements that require special design would also be useful.
With schemes it should be simple, many are a banal tree. With tables too. I see this as some kind of special xml format, which is then converted to pdf or whatever you want.
I don’t want to reinvent the wheel yet, I haven’t worked with systems specially designed for typesetting like LateX. Maybe that's just what I need.

You are on the right track. It is better to delve into the elegance and rigor of Latex once and not be sprayed on secondary.
PS If the teacher after the training session does not give the content of what is presented in electronic form and if the lesson at the university for the most part consists in writing down what the teacher said, this is a crappy university that takes away valuable young years.
Although, the above is a utopia for most of our educational institutions.

As for latex (it's not latex, by the way), I'm not sure. I am familiar with it quite well, but the set of formulas in it is still somewhat slower than by hand. In addition, if you do not use such evil as LaTeX-WYSIWYG-editors, then it will be problematic to compare what is written on the board and on your laptop, especially in the case of cumbersome formulas. And compiling and checking each time is time, and if some minor mistake is made, then a lot of time (relative to the speed of the lecture).

try writing with your hands. The way of writing affects the person.

I type either in Word or OneNote. I take pictures of graphs and diagrams with a mobile phone / redraw in a notebook, then scan. Those are good, especially on mathmech, where there are a lot of mathematical formulas. On the same matan, mathematical physics, there is all sorts of things, etc. But in order to be convenient, you need to write functions that replace and simplify the main terms used ... It's hard to do it on the fly - all the more you can't look especially where you messed up ... in real time anyway. And at home or at a break, you may not notice an error in a complex formula, and then because of this, “fly in” the exam. Therefore, at one time I shot the formulas on a camera. To check for correctness. Or, again, in a notebook.

try to get a small entry-level tablet, it’s suitable for sketching graphs, many software works with inserting a drawing drawn by a tablet in 2 clicks

Try Q10 . Of course, this is not LaTeX, but if you write in it at the lecture, you will be provided with attention from old professors (turn up the sound :) )

Use a tablet, there are compact solutions within 1000 rubles.

The main thing is not to write lectures in a notebook, and indeed not to use it at all. Firstly, when saving, it adds paragraphs, and secondly, when saving, it shifts the input cursor back, which terribly infuriates.
Everyone has this problem. This bug is epic. But don't give a damn.
Looked at OneNote. It seems to be designed for this. But you can't draw graphs. And entering formulas is not convenient, or rather, it will take a long time to mess around with it.
Everything rests on the graphic material. The easiest way; write "\1" in the lecture and next in the notebook "1 {formula}". Then scan or leave as is.
LaTeX is too sophisticated. We need to come up with a new language for writing formulas.
PS: At our university, the training scheme is as follows: you must attend all classes and write all lectures in full. No other is given. It is also fashionable for some teachers to say: “If you are not interested, then do not go to classes,” which in fact is not the slightest truth. They get mad when they say that.
Many items are held in the “doo-doo-doo” format, i.e. the text is read (and very quickly) from call to call. My hands hurt after that.
The teachers relate to the technique ahem ... well, it feels like they will come up to you and ____ in the face with your laptop. Digital technology is evil and evil.
About sane lectures with a good explanation of the material, small short notes and laying out all the information on the discipline on a site where you can discuss the material and ask some incomprehensible places - a dream.
PSS: [epic] Are there electronic versions of the lectures? “I have all the lectures in electronic form, but I won’t give them to you, because then you won’t go to my lectures.” [/epic]
PSSS: And I don't think it's normal that in less than a month because of the lectures the general notebook ends.

I've been using lyx for 2 years now. Almost everything suits. Friends who suffer with the Word look enviously at the speed of typing and the beauty of the formulas.

in win7 try the “math input panel” (located in the “standard” ones) + an inexpensive tablet or mouse (well, this is an option for perverts :) the quality of formula recognition is good; draw - and paste (they say that he is friends with the office 2007+, he does not paste anything into my open office :(
