Alternatively one can type the formula code in the text like
a sup 2 + b sup 2 = c sup 2
select that code and choose "insert - object - formula".
Or you open AAO Math or LO Math. You get three windows, the left one
containing the graphical interface, the upper right the displayed
formula, the lower right the text syntax.
AOO and LO help contain a comprehensive list of the formula sytax:
in Help - Formulas - General Information - Math Features
there is a hyperlink pointing to the reference list.
Examples:
a over b
sum from{0} to{n} x_{i}
int from{0} to{ infinity } x^{2}
