I'm afraid my first question isn't a math puzzle per se, but rather question of math "presentation" . Basically I've been out of school for a year or two - so I'm a bit out of practice in writing up math papers. Recently I've found myself back at school for grad work and having to write equations again. Now I've already re-learned a good hatred for most equation editors that exist in word processors - but my "LaTex fu" is a bit weak to be writing up everything in notepad and then compiling it using LaTex. So I was wondering if anyone had found a good program to use a "friendly" interface while still being able to write LaTex style equations?

I suppose you are on Windows, if you are on \*nix you can try it with [wine](http://www.winehq.org/).  

As I've read it is good, but it is not free.
