In summary, to insert an equation into a document, you can use a word processor's equation or formula tool, or use a markup language like LaTeX or MathML. In a spreadsheet, you can use the "Insert Function" feature, and in a presentation, most software have a built-in equation editor. In a web page, you can use HTML tags or JavaScript libraries like MathJax.
