I used to have Mathtype which I quite liked but I'd rather have a free program. What I would like to know is, are there any free math programs out there (for special math characters and etc)? If so, which ones?

I'm not sure what Mathtype does, but I assume you want to markup some mathemathical things etc?

You can try OpenOffice.Org, there's a very nice editor included (OpenOffice Math).

No its not very known to me but if all else fails search on Google!

You could use Excel, or maybe I misunderstod, even so, I would recommend u to use anything else but Microsoft Office... My opinion though

For occasional use, you could use the Equation Editor included in Microsoft Office (a free and basic version of MathType). Additionally, the editor in OpenOffice seems quite nice.

I had the equation editor at some point, but right now I'm using the 2007 beta of office so I'd rather not take any chances. As well I don't want to install open office just for this.
