Here are some things to keep in mind as you read my hand written notes.

General

  • I use math signs a lot like greater then (>) and less then (<)
  • Usually I don't care about spelling (sorry)
    • If I have the letters "sp" and an arrow pointing to a word, it's probably spelled wrong

Red Pen

  • Red pen is usually used to correct incorrect problems - sometimes even before I turn something in
  • In review for tests, I sometimes use red to fill in problems I had to "cheat" and look up in the book
  • When taking notes from lectures, I use red sometimes to highlight key points of facts'
  • So in general, pencil is for my work, and red is for other's work

Color

  • Notes are scanned dark so that they can be read. This is sometimes a problem with double-sided notes however. However, its better then it being too light.

Size

You can click on the image preview to get it bigger. An image will be the biggest when all of the words which are normally on the side of the page are gone and the URL (web address) ends in .JPG. However, your browser might still be scaling down images. Look for a box in the lower right hand corner. You might have to hover over it to make it appear. Click that to stop the browser from scaling down that image. There is some way to turn that off if you want.

Math

  • Drawings are not to scale - especially triangles
  • I am to keep the purest numbers possible in answers. I do this by storing partial answers and using the "Ans" variable to get the last answer up to 9 decimal places. I usually don't write down the whole number. That means that I use more exact numbers that what I write in the process. This might change the result slightly or give you less exact answers.
  • I might follow rounding rules or I might just always round down, or I might just round to where I feel like.

Macro Econ

  • About halfway through I expanded delta (Δ) sign to mean "change". Normally it means "the change in"
