Equations are pretty easy to type. If you type

The position, $x(t)$, is
$$
  x(t) = x_0 + v_0 t + \frac{1}{2} a t^2 .
$$
Eliminating $t$,
$$
    v^2(t) = \sqrt{ v_0^2 + 2 a ( x(t)  - x_0 ) }
$$

You get

The position, $x(t)$, is

$$x(t)=x_0+v_{0}t+\frac{1}{2}a{t}^2.$$x(t) = x_0 + v_0 t + \frac{1}{2} a t^2 .

Eliminating $t$,

$$v^2(t)=\sqrt{v_0^2+2a(x(t)-x_0)}$$v^2(t) = \sqrt{ v_0^2 + 2 a ( x(t) - x_0 ) }

and

The angular momentum
\[
   \vec{L} = \vec{r} \times \vec{p}
\]

produces

The angular momentum

(1)$$\stackrel{\rightharpoonup }{L}=\stackrel{\rightharpoonup }{r}\times \stackrel{\rightharpoonup }{p}$$\vec{L} = \vec{r} \times \vec{p}

The full equation syntax may be a little daunting, but you probably won’t need much more than the above. For the rest, there’s Markdown.

Oh, and you can draw pictures, using the built-in drawing tool.
