Math equation electronic document

[quantum123]

Hi, I wish to do math equations electronically.
Can someone help me to find a good software?
I heard there is such a thing called latex. Where can I find it?

Thanks

Latex is definitely the way to go, but it's a little strange at first.

For Windows XP/Vista/7, you need three pieces of software which will work together:

(1) Sumatra PDF Viewer
(2) MikTex: Use the "'Basic MiKTeX 2.8' Installer" found here.
(3) http://www.texniccenter.org/resources/downloads/29-downloads/12-texniccenter-installer

Make sure to install TexNicCenter last out of the three. It will ask you to input the following:

* the location of the file "latex.exe" - usually found in C:/Program Files/MiKTeX 2.8/miktex/bin
* some kind of DVI viewer - you can use C:/Program Files/MiKTeX 2.8/miktex/bin/yap.exe
* some kind of PDF viewer - you can use C:/Program Files/SumatraPDF/SumatraPDF.exe
* a command line parameter for preventing the PDF viewer from opening new windows every time you compile: use "-reuse-instance" (no quotation marks)

That should give you everything you need.
