While not exactly a "language," the special characters and formatting needed to input mathematical and other equations and formulas can present challenges at least as difficult as a complex Unicode script. Often the only way to get satisfactory display is to compose the equation in a special editor and then save it as pdf and paste into your word processor. Here are some examples of such editors that can be used with OS X:
+Grapher (in Applications/Utilities, Window > Show Equation Palette)
+AppleWorks (if you have it -- Edit/Insert Equation)
+OpenOffice/Formula
+MathType (30 days free trial, then becomes "Lite" version)
+Online LaTex (Use FireFox)
+MathMagic (30 days free trial)
