Well, a quick Google search on 'LaTeX math' returned a lot of 
good-looking results, so it might be a decent route to take. If you're 
afraid about users not having the libraries installed, maybe you could 
link statically? It's a larger executable, but worth the reduced install 
complexity.

You probably want to look at the AMS-LaTeX extensions (amsmath and amscls).

I'm not being much help, so I'll be quiet now :)

Good luck with your project.
