but would like to know if I just really need to bite the bullet and do it this way (Latex or similar).
If you ever want to communicate with others, LaTeX is the lingua franca of mathematics.
Good point, I should learn it anyway. But in terms of learning and solving problems, do you work them out using LaTex or do you use pen and paper / whiteboard?
