LaTeX, maybe, but not LyX.  You'll have to read the section on writing
equations, but it's so much easier to use than any equation editor
i've ever seen for a wordprocessor that you get your time back in the
first few equations.  Forget being forced to use the mouse to get
around the equation . . . (though you can if you want)

But then, a document is just a way to display and explain your
equations  . . .
