How I'm able to take notes in mathematics lectures using LaTeX and Vim
Copy tex.snippets to ~/.vim/UltiSnips/ and assuming you're using Vim Plug, add the following to your .vimrc:
Plug 'sirver/ultisnips'
    let g:UltiSnipsExpandTrigger = '<tab>'
    let g:UltiSnipsJumpForwardTrigger = '<tab>'
    let g:UltiSnipsJumpBackwardTrigger = '<s-tab>'
Plug 'lervag/vimtex'
    let g:tex_flavor='latex'
    let g:vimtex_view_method='zathura'
    let g:vimtex_quickfix_mode=0
Plug 'KeitaNakamura/tex-conceal.vim'
    set conceallevel=1
    let g:tex_conceal='abdmg'
    hi Conceal ctermbg=none
setlocal spell
set spelllang=en_us
inoremap <C-l> <c-g>u<Esc>[s1z=`]a<c-g>uFor the colorscheme, install pywal, add the following to your .vimrc
Plug 'dylanaraps/wal'
colorscheme wal
set background=darkFinally, execute wal --theme base16-nord.
