I'm taking a course and I need to write equations. I know of tools like Mathematics (to solve and graph) and a lot of markdown editors, but what I need is a note app that let me write my own equations as a LaTeX editor and viewer. I need the tool let me export my documents in pdf too. Can you help me?
>Also: I hate how a lot of markdown apps only have edition mode and not view mode, and I hate the limitation of pdf exporting tools
(I'm in spain, so apologies if I write your language as a dickhead)

save the equations into your fucking calculators memory

LyX, don't listen to autists telling to go balls deep in LaTeX just yet, LyX is more than good, is easy (pretty damn easy), and more than enough for any type of equation. And yes, you can export to LaTeX and PDFs.

this, and if you know Markdown and find that easier for most notes than typing LaTeX commands but also want the power of LaTeX equation syntax, the program pandoc supports a Markdown extension including LaTeX commands.

Some like LyX for android?

What is wrong with the good ol' pen and paper

Honestly, this >>61312130. Then rewrite your notes in LaTeX to export as ones good enough to sell. The process of evaluating and rewriting them will do more for you than doing them all in one pass. in class, ever will.

Believe it or not Microsoft Word and OneNote have pretty great equation editors. Just hit [alt] + [=] and it will open up. It even comes with real-time in-line rendering and can save as PDF easily.
It's also way easier to use a "screen clipping" to pull graphs into a Word document than exporting to eps files to use in a LaTeX document.

It's not an app

Not as fast and clean as LyX

An android lyx would rock! Didn't test it yet but in the meantime https://www.rollapp.com/app/lyx

I found LyX slowed me down. Yeah, it works if your equations are simple one liners, but it becomes cumbersome for anything even slightly complicated.
I'd say use it for now while you learn LaTeX, but it's totally do-able to be able to take notes with something like TeXMaker and actually writing TeX script.

Yeah anon, I understand you are advanced, but it can replace Word so it helps people with limited knowledge. Plus, I use it for fast projects.
Of course for academic level and beyond we are talking of other requirements but the important here is giving an improvement for the common.

Nothing, but sometimes isn't practic. Paper bends easy
