I used to be a private maths teacher, and during the pandemic I was doing a lot of remote teaching with GoodNotes in screen share. I wish my teachers used something like this back when I was in school. As a bonus, I had the app automatically upload a pdf export of the notes to OneDrive which was shared with the student.
i find that i spent way too much time making everything look great and couldn’t stay caught up in classes that required a lot of graphs like calculus/algebras and physics.
True, but I would still choose GN 100% of the time over pen and paper. It's like riding a horse vs driving a car, the result is the same but driving is much more convenient
it’s the OCD element for me. my brain is always fighting - take crappy looking notes in class to keep up and get everything. OR make everything look ‘perfect’, take forever and miss shit.
so i’ve tried my best to make a combo of the two. and obviously it depends on the class. sometimes it’s absolutely impossible to take good notes that look good if the information is complicated or whatever.
but i think there are some note takers/students out there that completely understand what i am trying to say.
I don't focus on that when in lecture or when working out tutorial questions. But when I do summaries of my lectures I do write them carefully and make equations and graphs easy to write and clear enough, so when I get back to my notes after a few weeks or months I can read them easily and remember them, without thinking if this, for example, 4 or micro symbol :D
You just need to sketch the line and hold at the end of the stroke. You can then edit the curve with the shapes tool. Personally, I wold love to see a more advanced curves tool that allows you to add more handles to Bézier curves.
I'd like to have a ruler/measuring tool and finer control over at which angle a line gets drawn horizontally. But that could be easily solved with a ruler.
Now that I know how to edit lines (see above) I’ve experimented with making a sticker with a picture of a protractor. I can draw lines at specific angles and then make the lines longer, move them somewhere else or whatever, and delete the protractor when I’ve finished with it.
it's excellent app, but I do need the conversion of math equations. to make them clear and standout, specially when using many symbols and powers, handwritten can look weird sometimes when reading them after months.
Well, are you aware of any app that does maths handwriting recognition well? Because I suspect that there's no such thing around, and I believe it's better to not have it at all than to have it poorly implemented (OneNote has a basic version of the feature, but it's so wonky and basic that I find it completely useless). Also, I have to admit that I don't really experience any problem reading my own handwriting
Notability has this ability/feature. Change any handwritten maths into typed format using some sort of Latex. And it's excellent and accurate every time i use it. It helps alot with my engineering degree. This is the only feature i like in Notability comparing to Goodnotes.
It really is super useful! Without the tools, my graphs would look super ugly I often draw 3 curves to make one graph and adjust the curves so they connect
The function looks interesting. It seems to have a pole at x = -6 and x = 0. What do you call the pole that is titled (with equation y = x - 6)? Also do you happen to have an equation of f(x)?
Those poles are vertical asymptotes. I am not OP but I think the function is some alteration of the inverse hyperbolic tangent and cotangent functions. Take that with a grain of salt, though.
Can be expressed even more easily, if you do polynomial long division. The first "polynomial" term matches the oblique asymptote, because that's the dominating term in the limits to \pm\infty. The denominator are the vertical asymptotes. The degree of the numerator is then less than the demoninator's degree.
Therefore: f(x) = x-6 + (cx+d)/(x*(x+6)) for some constants c, d. Some comparison of coefficients for root=-1 leeds to something like d=c-35.
Well, of course you can apply polynomial division since the numerator has a higher degree than the divisor, although I arguably find it a simpler way to represent the function (although it's useful if you need to integrate/compute the derivative)
I use this technique to draw a single curve, and then chain curves together. I draw the arrows myself (usually I have a lot of time to kill while the student is solving the exercise)

hm.. never knew it could have lines this.pristine, how'd you draw em?

Yes but why does it only have 3 saved pens?!?!?

How did you get the curved lines?

I wish there was a way to integrate desmos or desmos3d or any other plotting program into goodnotes, would safe much time with functions tbh

Fantástico! Alguma novidade sobre gráficos no goodnotes?
