Where can I get a software which could display mathematical and physical expressions? I need it. Thanks.

What do you mean by "display"?

Your web browser can display mathematical expressions.

Are you looking for a word-processing kind of application so you can WRITE formulae?

If so, MS Word includes an equation editor (not very good, but it works). If you're serious, LaTeX is a good option. Alternatively, can buy various packages which do that kind of thing.

If it's the other "display" can start for example from the one below ... if you got something specific people can flood you with recommendations.

"Ranking" IMO :

1) LaTeX http://www.latex-project.org/ (I'm using MikTex with TeXnicCenter since last week or so)
2) MathType http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathtype/
3) Word's etc. default eq. editor

.... depends quite a bit on what you need .... heavy duty stuff and 'best' print out 1), want the 'best' integrable to word 2) ... need to do a few here and there can do e.g. with the word default editor.
