Use an editor such as texmaker http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/ to make life a little bit easier, also you need latex... download it from http://miktex.org/

Also good for math: ftp://ftp.ams.org/pub/tex/doc/amsmath/short-math-guide.pdf you need the ams-packages in your latex-files

We have lots of old threads on LaTex in this forum, please search for those and read / write in them for more tips and advice

good luck
