Just to add to what you've mentioned: To insert a Math object into Writer you can do the following: Insert > Object > Formula You can actually type the formula first, select what you've typed, and then insert a formula object (this "converts" the text to a formula). You can also assign a short-cut key to "Insert > Object > Formula" if you don't want to use the mouse every time. Just be careful, there are 2 "insert formula" commands in Writer. The other (assigned to F2) creates a Calc-style formula that actually calculates an equation, rather than displaying a formula. Another alternative is to type the letters "fn" (without the quotes) on a new line and press F3 (Run Autotext Entry).
