Topic: Math notation editing on iOS


view this post on Zulip Julius (Jul 23 2023 at 16:46):

I would like to take notes on the text Categorical Logic and Type Theory on an iPhone (iOS).

I am attempting to use Latex in a Latex editing app, but I think there could be some good, newer way to do this.

Does anyone have a recommended modern software setup for writing math notation?

I will explore using Obsidian, an excellent app. I wonder if there’s a mathematical extension to markdown supported in there.

Thanks

I think you still can't beat LaTeX for good mathematical typesetting.

For phone, this doesn't work, but in response to "beating LaTeX for good mathematical typesetting", I suggest TeXmacs

wysiwyg is okay for simple things, but I think eventually when you start doing more complicated stuff you have to start working with the source.
