Hello. I'm looking for a certain type of Math software that I'm not sure exists. Something like Microsoft Word - but specific to Math. Something that will allow me to mess around with algebra and arithmetic kind of like a calculator in Notepad or Word form. Preferably free. Sorry for the poor articulation but I'm not acquainted with programming or coding language. Any suggestions?

Hey Kimosabae and welcome to the forums.

I'd recommend searching google for alternatives to Mathematica and also alternatives to Maple. A quick google search turned up one open source project in the first page:
