LaTeX is a programming language to type texts with math content. You need to use some text editor to compile your .tex file, then use a latex compiler to typeset your latex file.

For Windows, you may
(a) download the MikTex program from http://miktex.org/download;
(b) then download the Texmaker program from http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/download.html.
For Mac users, you may download MacTex from http://tug.org/mactex/.Or Latexian.
You may also use the online editor Write LaTeX .
