Ma note taking equipment.

Hardcover notebooks are awesome - they're so durable. When I used to use spiral bound notebooks, they would start to disintegrate halfway through the semester...

ITT: a perfect materials for students use:

>>lightweight materials but, powerful when in use

I use the following for school:

>Asus net book (enough for typing essays and lectures)

>Sharpie pens

>2 No. 2 pencils

>moleskin graph, great for jotting down notes

>calculator if needed

And that is what I would take to class, might add more or change type of equipment later within the year, this list would be the start of a new class year.

I keep a few 5-subject spiral notebooks. A good mechanical pencil and a good smooth pen.

I have a weird compulsion where I must by a new notebook twice a year or so.

Graphing calculators are for pussies. REAL men (i.e. engineers) use good old fashioned scientific calculators.

You're an engineer alright. I can use mine in conjunction with probes to collect an analyze physical data in real time. Everything from volts to temp to light.

So when I'm out and about, I don't need a toolbox of equiptment to do simple things. Not to mention I can sync with my computer and transfer data between them.

This got me through all of undergrad. Used it on my first exam, and managed not to lose it all the way til my last exam and every exam in between. It has perfect weight distribution. You feel like you're holding onto something substantial, not just a plastic thing.

Thinkpads are useless. Take notes on pen and paper. If you don't draw arrows and concept maps while taking notes fast enough to keep pace with lecture then you dumb.

Get shitty laptop, strip all unnecessary bs programs, upgrade ram for 50$

invest into nice bag that won't rip after a couple years

get an Ipad to pirate every possible textbook on (shit pays for itself after one semester)

locate that one printer in deepest darkest corner of uni where you can print for free and tell NO ONE about its existence

find a place with open doors and couch past 2AM to sleep during extreme work periods

pick up smoking to train yourself for good behavior

How I miss the college.

I find them all on demonoid usually, sometimes not exactly same edition and maybe not even same author but same subject. There's like a hundred textbooks on any given subject from hs to grad to reference level. I like Ipad because of how quickly I can switch to internet and look up papers, great screen resolution, the first gen feels nice and heavy. Can't always have laptop out to read. I'm talking about a piss poor 400$ gigantic laptop that you keep stashed somewhere for writing papers. The Ipad is frequent use (bring it to class, pass out with it in the library...etc.).

All my life I was told that scientists get to wear these awesome lab coats, yet here I am working on supersymmetric QFT and I still don't have one. I feel cheated.

Should'a taken the MSTP route, breh. I get to wear a lab coat while working on gamma-SPECT theory. Physics + medicine = shit is so cash.

Dixon Ticonderoga: I press/write hard and these survive better then mechanical pencils. Finding pencil sharpeners can be a challenge.
Pink Pearl: Never failed me.
STAPLES generic copy paper: Cheap - a case for ~$30. Used for homework, notes and lab printing.
Used/previous generations of TI-86 and TI-89: Get them for <$50.
Blackhawk Messenger Bag: Sturdiest messenger bag I have ever owned.

I remember the days when I used to use a graphing calculator... and by that I mean played games on it in high school calculus. Now I use Mathematica, I could not imagine going back to those pieces of crap.

In a real world setting I agree that MATLAB or Mathematica are superior, however in undergrad a calculator that can rref is more than enough.

Using MATLAB is like sandblasting a soup cracker for undergrads. Generally speaking.

Every goddamn math course up until the 4th year and grad. level seminars requires a "computer component", ie. an assignment for MAPLE (oh, canada) or Mathematica.

Wolfram Alpha has been satisfactory just for tinkering with stuff for assignments though.

Also, related, my pen of choice. I've always used Lamys, and it's what I'm used to.
