| one of the nice things LaTeX can do is easily fit equations in line with your text. it is smart: if you put an equation in the text, it will make the fractions and integrals and stuff fit on one line, but if you designate it an important equation, the fractions get two lines, and the integral signs stretch their feet out.
it will automatically number your equations, and you can reference them by name in your text, so that if you later insert another equation at the beginning, all the numbers will get bumped by one, and your reference in the text will also get bumped up one.
it is really a wonderful way to write mathematical and scientific documents.
