With Org-mode you can enter special symbols, subscripts and
superscripts, LaTeX fragments and you can preview the LaTeX fragments
directly in emacs:
http://orgmode.org/manual/Embedded-LaTeX.html#Embedded-LaTeX
Special symbols: \alpha, \beta and \gama
Super/subscripts: The mass of the sun is M_sun = 1.989 x 10^30 kg
Math: Let $a^2=b$
Org-mode is quick to learn for simple things, yet has an amazing depth.
And, as I mentioned before, it does it all in plain text. It exports to
HTML, LibreOffice, LaTeX and lots of other things.
Highly recommended (but you do have to use emacs).
Cheers,
Alan

Great, thanks for the suggestions. I'll take a look at TreeLine. I'll
also look at Org-mode (I don't use Emacs but I'm always interested in
trying new tools). I should have mentioned that a lot of the books I
read have math in them and I enjoy using LyX to write math-related
notes. I guess I'll have to make some sacrifices either way I decide
to go.
Best,
Scott

I agress with Steve that LyX is the wrong tool for taking notes. Take a
very close look at TreeLine <http://treeline.bellz.org/>. It's exactly
what
you're looking for.
I use it to track contacts with prospects and clients and have for
several
years now. It's flexible, adaptable, and will do just what you want as
long
as you read the docs and set up the database(s) for your specific needs.
