Ask HN: Which tool do you use to take math-heavy notes?
For context: I'm looking for the best tool that I could utilize to write my college notes. I've read about TiddlyWiki, Notable, Typora (and other markdown editors)... But can't decide which would be the best and don't have enough time to try them all.

I took most math heavy notes in markdown with LaTeX. Sometimes, I used google sheets. Lately I've been using Observable[1].

I can be quite quick in Tex, and a modern surface or ipad is very good but to be completely honest paper is still king.
Math Notepad is quite nice: http://mathnotepad.com/
a) paper and pencil
b) once I had enough skill in typesetting in LaTeX, I was often just typing Tex in vim directly.

LaTeX, with TikZ for diagrams.
