Math is Apache OpenOffice's component for mathematical equations. It is

used with other types of documents or stand-alone. When used inside Writer, the
equation is treated as an object inside the text document. Similarly, one can
also insert these into other Apache OpenOffice programs like Calc and Impress.
Using Math, there are three main ways of entering a formula:
Type markup in the equation editor.
Right-click on the equation editor and select the symbol from the
context menu.
Select a symbol from the Elements toolbox.
