For your homework you will need to use LaTeX, a tool for typesetting mathematics. The use of Overleaf has
gained widespread popularity - it is a "collaborative, online LaTeX editor that anyone can use."
Or you can proceed the old-fashioned way...Have you got a Mac?
Get TexShop here.
Have you got a PC?
MikTeX is here and TexnicCenter is here.
