What's on the platform today

Notes covering common first-year courses: Calculus, Linear Algebra, Statistics, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Financial Accounting, Computer Science, Physics and Chemistry. Coverage grows with student contributions.

Notes are organised by subject and topic, with the source institution noted where relevant for context.

How to use university notes well

University notes work best as a complement to your own active engagement — not a replacement. Read a chapter or lecture, then read someone else's notes on the same material. The differences highlight what you may have missed.

Always work through problem sets yourself before checking solutions.

Quality and verification

Notes are reviewed before going live and authors are encouraged to credit lecturers and textbooks they draw from. Anecdex respects copyright — original notes only, no scanned textbooks.

Top contributors earn recognition and can monetise their notes through the platform's payout system.

Adding AI to your study workflow

The AI study assistant is particularly useful for university-level material. Ask it to explain a derivation, compare two competing theories, or generate practice problems on a topic.

It works across most undergraduate subjects, with stronger depth in STEM and commerce.

Contributing your own notes

Have great notes from a course? You can publish them on Anecdex, help fellow students and earn from your work.

Contributing also helps build your personal brand inside the student community.
