How to type math in Google Docs with the Equation Editor

See a quick introduction to writing math neatly in Google Docs. Note that these instructions are for computers. As of April 2020, the Equation Editor is not available for mobile.

This guide was cool but even the editor is cumbersome to use when you need to use the menus every damn time, is there a way to use the editor just a tad bit faster?

God, I can't believe I got this far without learning that this is a thing. I thought I'd have to learn LaTeX! Thank you so so so much for explaining this, this is so helpful! Gone are the days of me typing "x^4 - 4x^3 + 12x^2"

Thanks, this was helpful.
I find it is much faster if you type things out (for example type \times or \frac or \pi and then hit spacebar) instead of using the mouse to input symbols from the menus. It seems like most of the symbols use the same commands as Latex and Word.
Also you can use alt + I + E to insert a new equation
