Hello, I wish to find the best program to write complex scientific expressions with. If possible free, but I'm open to other suggestions. Right now I know "Equations!" but that is it.

Partly depends on your audience. Among academic audiences,
LaTeX is the standard. You can send LaTeX documents to other
people with the confidence that they will be able to read
them. If you have a Unix system, there are free utilities
to convert LaTeX to PDF and Postscript.

I suppose Microsoft's stranglehold on the commercial world
extends to equation editors too, so Word with equations done
in Equation Editor would be a form you could be reasonably
confident people could read.

For Powerpoint and web presentations, the best option seems
to build your equations in your favorite editor, say LaTex,
then screen-grab your equations as graphics.
