Question: Format difference (Red vs. Black text) - What is best?

Hey guys.

 

I've been using a format where everything, math and text, is in black. The awnsers come out in blue.

Some coleges use a (ugly?) format where the equations are in red and are, in my opinion, less easy to read and take longer to type down.

 

So my question is simply this: Can I do everything using the black format I'm used to, or are there certain things that I MUST use the red format to compute?

If there are major differences, can you also explain what they are, and wether I should use time to get used to both formats.

for now I'm only using Maple 16 for linear Algebra and making plots. But who knows if I'm shooting myself in the foot by not learning that red, ugly format...

 

Thanks in advance! :)
