Which is the best android Tablet for MATH notes (calculations, forumulas etc)

Hi everyone,

I would like your opinion on the best android tablet for writing notes AND calcualtions e.g in a math or physics class where i can stop at certain points in my note work and use a stylus to write a formula or calcualtion.I don't mind using the keyboard attachement  for the notes.But I highly prefer being able to put in my own calculations and equations effectively via a stylus in a way that does not smudge the screen(does not detect my palm)Any info on this and apps used in these circumstances would be great.

which is the best in your opinion?All the reviews i have come across done for tablets have not mentioned any testing on this.

All I know is that you will not get very precise Stylus movement/useage unless you go with a tablet that has the S-Pen function.

Using a stylus on a regular tablet is very inprecise, imo and experience at least. That doesn't go for S-Pen of course.

So looks like you are left with the Samsung Note series of products....unless I am forgetting something.

wow looks interesting.What irks me the most is that almost ALL the advertisements for phones or tablets have someone drawing on them , almost as if they assume ALL their audience are just artists.I really would not hurt them at all to be different and have some one actually write out an equation and perform some calcualtions instead of endless demonstrations of how those tablets can be used for  kiddy drawings, and bad handwriting.

I am still concerned about being able to rest my palm on the tablet screen when writing, will it also register my palm as input ?? or will it just continue to utilise the pen? will i still be able to swipe e.g to another page to start notes on a fresh page? hmmm

I forgot to mention that their are a few premium lines of high precision ball point pen style stylus' available now. Forgot what it's called, but I know in order to get it to work it has a tiny little clear plastic disc at the end with the point in the middle.

Apparently it is really good for drawing/artwork and writing.

During my undergrad years, I tried the iPad, Galaxy Tab, Nexus 7 and Galaxy Note as a way to collect notes and do a little math (I'm a physicist). Unfortunately, none could beat the pen and pad. While the idea of using a tablet in this way is attractive, I think you'll still find it a bit slow and tedious at times, and the last thing you want to do is miss something in class!

The best approach I found was to keep the lecture slides or PDF open on my tablet during the lecture and make the odd annotation, but stick with my old pen and notepad for full notes. Oh, and don't forget you can use the built in voice recorder to record the lecture as well!

unfourtunately i have a really bad handwriting, i also like the idea of instead of having to carry and organize alot of paper work, i would just have one pad to do all my work in ,which would be easier to carry around.Another plus would be on long page  calculations i could propably use  the pinch function to either zoom out of the page or zoom in on a part I want to look at .The galaxy note 10.1 tab also has a dual screen future which might be helpful at times though I would be utilising it fullscreen  predominantly.

I 'm gonna also see if my potential work places will allow me to carry one around the facilty, i would like to utilise one as a tool , but sometiems they can get picky about the security as they don't allow people to take pictures.

The abilty to walk around with all my notes in my hand, refference materials, and the abilty to perform calculations right there and then on one pad would be amazing.

i would say buy a stylus supported tablet such as samsung Note and download Myscript Calculator from google play . You write formulas like you do on paper and you get the answer adamosmaki
