Pauls Online Math Notes
Welcome to my math notes site. Contained in this site are the notes (free and downloadable) that I use to teach Algebra, Calculus (I, II and III) as well as Differential Equations at Lamar University. The notes contain the usual topics that are taught in those courses as well as a few extra topics that I decided to include just because I wanted to. There are also a set of practice problems, with full solutions, to all of the classes except Differential Equations. In addition there is also a selection of cheat sheets available for download.

What's the point of a note-taking app?
The true purpose of a note-taking app is to facilitate deep learning through three interconnected processes—externalizing ideas, internalizing them into new insights, and resurfacing them over time—and good design should minimize accidental friction while preserving the productive friction that enables genuine understanding.

A shared lexicon for *video notes*? Looking for input before I build
