Re: math in university It really depends on the source materials. If you can get a true pdf ebook version of your course text for instance, then that is when it works really well. I had to rely on it entirely to get my math tutorial questions in an accessible form. Unfortunately

Re: math in university Yeah. I've used it for other things, but it's not going to do what you want or, if it does, it's going to take a lot of setup.  Edsharp is what I use for coding and I'd switch off if I used more than find/replace and jump to line-it's basi
