I. Introduction
The structure you need. The Markdown you love.

Stop Writing Walls of Text.

Structure your learning with the classic split-page method. Separate your cues, notes, and summaries to turn passive typing into active learning.

Introduction to Quantum Mechanics

Lecture 3 - October 15, 2024

1. The Cue Column

Space for questions and keywords.

What is superposition?

Wave function?

Observer effect?

2. The Note Column

Space for detailed capture and definitions.

Superposition - particles exist in multiple states simultaneously until measured

Wave function Ψ describes probability distribution of particle properties

Measurement collapses wave function to single state

Key: Schrödinger's equation describes time evolution

3. The Summary

Space for synthesis.

Quantum mechanics describes particles as wave functions in superposition until observation. The observer effect and Schrödinger's equation are fundamental to understanding quantum behavior.

II. Methodology

Logic, Not Just Lists

Inspired by the proven Cornell University system, Notari forces you to synthesize information rather than just transcribing it.

"The split-page method is more than a note-taking system—it's a framework for active learning and long-term retention."

Adapted from Walter Pauk's Principles

01

Active Recall Built-In

Don't just read your notes—interact with them. The dedicated "Cue" column allows you to test yourself immediately after class or a meeting, strengthening neural pathways for up to 30% better retention.

02

Structure That Scales

Standard text editors encourage messy "brain dumps." Notari's rigid three-part framework (Cues, Notes, Summary) reduces cognitive load, keeping your focus on capturing the signal, not the noise.

03

Review Ready

Cover the content column and use your cues to recite the answers. Notari turns your daily notes into flashcards automatically, making spaced repetition effortless.

III. Features
