Fountain Pens and Highlighters

Just a sophomore in electrical engineering and neurobiological sciences trying to make my notes look awesome (and stick in my head)

So my homework isn't as pretty as my notes... but I wanted to point out a technique I use to memorize formulas. Every time I use the new formula during my homework, I write it out in a "formula" cloud or box next to the problem.

This makes me write it over and over until I learn it. I definitely learn better from writing things down than from just reading them, so this is a very useful thing. Also, it helps me keep from messing up. ;)

Happy studies!

Hey, just working on some calculus

So, I'm a sophomore in electrical engineering and, suffice it to say, that is math heavy. I think it is fitting to start this off with some calc notes, since you will be seeing them a lot. I will post my notes, some methods I like, the products I use, and some tips for learning when your brain works against you (autism and ADHD here).

I am doing this because I really want to hold myself accountable in my studies and I want to enjoy my note-taking and take pride in my work. This worked so well for me in high school, now I want to do it again.

Right now my significant other (just gonna call him T) is in class and I'm at the library doing some calculus notes on partial fractions. These notes are done using only my fountain pen and two mild liners (I love those things).

I like to keep it simple yet beautiful. These are particularly aesthetic. Hope you like them :)
