Any suggestions for math equation editor?

Yes thank you! I'm kind of a stickler for perfection... so making it look good and not being a gigantic font sitting in the middle of the paper (like what was happening!) made the work more tedious. I'm sure by the end of class, I'll be clicking and ticking away at the editor like no one else!

You should be able to write out most of your symbolic working using a keyboard but getting around the format is the tricky bit.

You have the usual symbols +, -, /, *
Exponential ^
Subscript _
You can make judicious use of bracketing (), [], {}

If you provide a rough key, you have quite a bit of freedom if it's a person marking the paper, for example:

(3x^2)[xy+z^(1/2)]=0
1/[sin^2(cos(2xpi/9)]=e^x
abs(x>4)=3
16mod3

Completely agree that pencil and paper is way better! Apologies if any of this is gobbledygook but hope it helps.
