Doing complex equations with super-scripts and sub-scripts is beyond any type of ascii text editor. However, there are packages such as TeX or LaTeX (check the FreeBSD ports collection) that will let you compose equations in a text processing language, run them through a filter (such as TeX or LaTeX), and generate nice looking equations in post script format.
