Thanks in advance.

I use TeXShop, there's a guide here for LaTeX on Mac OS X.

It's all open source, so easy to download and install :)

Edit: follow the link for MacTex in the article I linked to, it has everything nicely packaged up

Everything you need for LaTeX in a nice combined package.

Just use Grapher. When you copy and paste it, it appears as an image in your word processor of choice.

good tip - but my op-research teacher insists on handing in LaTeX-ed solutions.

Latexian is on sale for $9.99 right now. I'm new to LaTeX, but I'm liking it so far. I chose it over the GUIs included in MacTex. They didn't have a Mac feel, and Latexian has Lion goodness, i.e. fullscreen support.

I have Texmaker, do you know if Latexian is superior?

I haven't used TexMaker, so I couldn't say for sure. It doesn't have the wizards that I see on the TexMaker site. Why don't you just download the demo and try it out?
