The best pen for math notes is the cheapest ballpoint you can find at your grocerie store.

Gel smears too much and you're going to be loaning pens to classmates so just keep a stack of cheap pens.

    Well, the only thing I would ever want to use for doing math is a mech pencil. It's the only tolerable thing.

    Although I occasionally use whatever I find laying around.

    Yea, honestly this pencil (and eventually a metal version of this) was like the BIFL of all my school supplies.

    I'd get one, maybe a 2 pack, at most once a year. College, I had a metal version that lasted me all 4 years.

    Give a kid one nice pencil or 2 pencils, and they won't lose it. Give em an abundance and they'll most definitely lose em.
