I have read some old discussions about this topic and would like to get some up-to-date advice, if possible.

How can I take math notes, write formulas and draw graphs on my pc (win 7), the easiest and quickest way?

Thanks for your consideration.

    @Arturo - I don't think it's an exact duplicate. That question leans towards capturing the formulas textually. This one mentions drawing graphs (I'm assuming graphically).2011-03-22

    @uncle brad: Fair enough; I confess I have no answers to give to *either* question, but if people don't agree it's a duplicate, then my vote to close will not prosper and do nothing.2011-03-22

    The easiest way to write math on a PC is to close the laptop, put a piece of paper on top of it, and take out a pen or pencil.2011-03-22

    You need a tablet PC which come with its own OneNote. That would be sufficient. If you want handwritten to typed conversion you can experiment with [Microsoft's](http://blogs.msdn.com/b/e7/archive/2009/04/23/ink-input-and-tablet.aspx) or Fluidmath or Design Science or the [ones being developed](http://www.eecs.ucf.edu/isuelab/publications/pubs/MathPaper_ICPR.pdf) or [Web Equation](http://webdemo.myscript.com/home.html;jsessionid=k5ph7xieeadv100j3h5bds9zb#equationquation)2014-05-14
