Hello Bryan,

A very topical question as it happens.  Just to give you some background, I and 
my research team here in Dublin have been looking at math Access.  We've looked 
mainly at output, but oddly enough, for reasons I can't go into in depth, input 
is now becoming topical.

Honestly the best way to type math is LaTeX.  So on your mac you'd type:

\frac{a+b}{c-d} and then run this through a program which converts this into 
readable properly- laid-out mathematics.

Kevin Chao on twitter has been talking extensively about this but primarily 
using that other OS.

Feel free to take this off-list if I can help.
