I am really not sure how to word this...

I'm wondering whether there is a program that allows for document writing, and works in a similar way to the Equation Editor in MS Word? (obviously without having to add equations ever time)

I'm completely new to LaTeX and all that - (don't worry, its on the list to learn) - but I need to write a large assignment with plenty of formulas...so if there's something out there that has this functionality, that would be great!

Cheers,

Jack

  • LaTeX is probably your best bet (I know you referenced it but it shouldn't take too long to learn). Here's a quick tutorial http://meta.math.stackexchange.com/questions/5020/mathjax-basic-tutorial-and-quick-reference If you have further questions, please direct them to the tex.stackexchange. – Jam Sep 03 '14 at 02:35

The answer is LaTeX, which you mentioned. A nearly no-knowledge direct entry might be to use sharelatex.

You might ask if there is an alternative - and the answer is no, because $\TeX$ is extremely good.

  • Wow, I like that site. What would you recommend in desktop packages? (Windows) Cheers. – Jack Sep 03 '14 at 02:56
  • The desktop thing to use is just real LaTeX. You sound like a Windows user, so you might check out http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/41808/how-do-i-install-tex-latex-on-windows-7 ([tex.se] also has good instructions for many TeX needs - it's not as hard as it might seem at first) – davidlowryduda Sep 03 '14 at 03:02
  • It's not just that it's good. It's also superior to anything else when done right. – Asaf Karagila Sep 03 '14 at 03:32
