We will be using
mathematical notation too rich for HTML. So format your notes in
LaTeX, compile it and submit the working TeX and/or PostScript file.
Take notes in your own
style after understanding the lecture. Your notes shouldn't be just a
dictation exercise.
Your notes will be read
by students who didn't follow the lecture in class or were absent. So
don't use cryptic SMS-style language in the final version that you
submit. In particular, avoid grammatically incorrect and
incomplete sentences. You can see the brief writeup on Well
ordering and generalized induction to get an idea of how your
notes should look like.
Since verbal explanations
accompany text written on the board in class, simply copying what's
written on the board may give an incomplete picture. Fill in gaps, if
any, in board-writing by what is said in class.
If you didn't follow something, check with friends,
ask the TA or the instructor and get it clarified before submitting
your notes. Taking notes without understanding can lead to incorrect
statements, which is worse than no notes at all.
