I'm a grad student in math. If I'm taking notes for a class, I prefer to have my laptop and LaTeX the notes on the fly.
If I'm working on my research, I find working with pen and paper is a psychological help: it's a good interface for working on math. The only problem is that pen and paper is a bad system generally, for a couple of reasons:
1) most of the notes ends up being crap/scratch work, it'd be really nice to be able to copy and paste the good stuff out easily.
2) Paper is heavy, I always have to decide which of my notes to carry around.
3) It's easy to loose your notes.
I'd love to have a tablet with a stylus good enough to write mathematics with.
