Technical fields, such as math, biology, physics, nursing, and radiology are so encompassing that the note taking procedure can be overwhelming. In his book, Winning at Math, Dr. Paul Nolting suggests using the system below for study purposes.  In the first column, list your formulas or keywords.  In the second column, explain what the keywords mean, or give the rules for using them.  In the third column, give examples of using the keywords or examples of what they are. Although he wrote his book for math study skills, the information can be used for any subject.
