There are certain TeX editors which have interfaces that make it easier to get the hang of. I like TeXmaker or TeXstudio. They basically have menus where you can find what you are looking for (for example an integral sin which will give you \int and a partial derivative symbol for \partial. Eventually you will just memorize it. Also, I have been able to answer most of my questions from Wikipedia or TeX stack-exchange

I would go right to the source for my materials https://latex-project.org/guides/books.html#latex-english

I would also listen to radium, as a WYSIWYG interpreter will greatly assist you in learning the syntax. I like Lyx myself, but it's a matter of style.

In writing up notes, content is more important than layout.

In my opinion, (assuming you already have a setup [editor/interface , latex compiler, etc...] that you like)
it's best to start with a simple example and modify it from there.
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/45466/tex-templates-for-mathematical-articles

If you see a layout on the web that you like, try to obtain its source .tex file.
https://www.google.com/search?q="latex+source"+math+notes

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Mathematics might be a good place to start.
No need to get overwhelmed with too many details from a book.
As needed, you can search the web [e.g. stackexchange, as suggested by @radium ] to do something fancier.

It might help if you can be more specific about what you find "quite difficult".

Hey buddy great Post,

I found something helpful which I want to share as I was browsing the web for learning some coding algorithms it was very difficult to visit different sites at a time but I found a site named https://hackr.io/

I went here and found that the stuff from best programming sites were all allocated at a single place so I just thought of sharing with you all...

I hope it will help you
