Use Word's equation editor with latex fonts
That's what I do
Why change the font? If they ask just say you changed it on LaTeX because you thought it looked nicer.
Try LyX
Latex is easy as fuck.
Do you mean to say that the professor is requiring that what you turn in as homework is a LaTeX pdf file? Your language is unclear, user.
More generally, even your /intention/ is unclear. I assume that you mean to convey a general disgust that a very simple assignment has to be dressed up in tech, but it's possible to read your thing in a few other ways which also make sense.
>Why do professors do these things
They want you to learn how to use latex.
the obvious answer
The bastards, they have no right.
Because if you ever want a chance to succeed in higher mathematical education you should understand the basics of LaTeX.
>Why do professors do these things
They want you to learn something, that might be very valuable to you.
I bet 10 bucks OP is a Pure (faggot) Mathfag that still gets meme'd on not knowing anything about CS because of Veeky Forums memes.
Sasuga desu~
So that you can learn something useful you lazy fuck.

People who work in research and refuse to use LaTeX should be blacklisted.
It was largely developed by a computer scientist/mathematician and it is practically a programming/markup language.
write your homework on paper, take a picture of it and make a LaTeX document that embeds this picture.
So you turn in a pdf made with latex.

>LaTeX
>Programming language
Yea, okay
you are writing in a language, that happens to program text. how is this hard for you to understand? perhaps you are an arts major, hmmm?
>use LaTeX to write resume
>every person that sees it is impressed as fuck on how nice it looks
I really hope you're using emacs + auctex btw
HTML is also a thing.
In LaTeX you describe a binary (often) pdf document through text.
In other languages you produce a different type of file, where is the substantial difference?
Math major, use LaTeX on a regular basis. Its just a very intricate word processor. Do you also think Unix commands is programming too?
Not him
>Its just a very intricate word processor.
No. You do no process word in Latex. It is a language to describe a document.
>Do you also think Unix commands is programming too?
Executing a program? No.
Shell scripting? Of course.
>Handwriting your homework
Latex is turing complete noobs, although it is generally thought of as a markup language.
just write plain text (maybe with markdown) with latex embedded for math. use pandoc
TeX is turing complete.

Seriously? How?
this
wtf
How what? It's fucking Turing complete.
Here's a BASIC interpreter written in tex

don't you mean [math]\LaTeX[/math]?
you need to put spaces so that the tags are recognized as individual tokens, senpai
nevermind, continuous scrolling with mathjax is broke as fuck
