If you are interested in obtaining software for mathematical
typesetting (to write up your proofs, for example), talk to me
about LaTeX, a
freely available typesetting program used by most
mathematicians, scientists, and engineers (myself included).
The software is freely available, but depending on what
Operating System you use there are various implementations.
There is a slight learning curve when first starting to use the
program, but once you get the basics down it makes it much
easier to typeset mathematics symbols and equations.
To get an idea about it, see the LaTeX section in
the Introduction to Computing Resources notes on
my web-page.
Using MathJax, one
can render basic LaTeX in HTML with minor adjustements.
For a discussion of what TeX commands work in MathJax,
see http://www.onemathematicalcat.org/MathJaxDocumentation/TeXSyntax.htm
(might not be up-to-date).

One can also use Overleaf, the Online LaTeX Editor.

Another (quite old - so might not be accurate) recommendation,
from professor Klaus Kaiser
:
"Tired of still not being able to type math on your new
and fancy PC?
I (i.e., Prof. Kaiser)
recommend Scientific Notebook (SNB) for your
home work and for writing notes of the course. This program
is available for $99 through MacKichan Software
at
http://www.mackichan.com/
Unlike ordinary word
processors, documents are saved in LaTeX. But the program
is as easy to use as MS Word and for SNB, you don't have to
know any TeX. In addition of being a
scientific text processor, the program can also compute or
graph your mathematical expressions. This feature is
especially useful for Linear Algebra. SNB comes with
complete printed documentation."
