LaTeX Overview
LaTeX is a document typesetting system used primarily for scientific and mathematical documents. If you have no idea what I mean, go here: LaTeX (Wikipedia).
Examples
I have several examples of (simple) LaTeX documents and reports at the documents page.
Software
There are a large number of programs and pieces of software for interfacing with LaTeX. The simplest is to use LaTeX through a text editor, such as Vim or Emacs, or a LaTeX text editor such as TexMaker or TexShop. Alternatively, one may use a full WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean) editor like LyX.
Personally, I recommend TexMaker for creating LaTeX documents by hand, and LyX for putting together LaTeX documents with lots of equations, or in a short time.
