I think you may have the wrong idea about LyX. It serves a similar,
but not identical, function as TeXShop.
In TeXShop, you enter raw tex/latex, push a button, and see gorgeous
output.
In LyX, you enter (more or less) what you want to see, and LyX
displays the more-or-less gorgeous output right there. Then you push
a button, and the real gorgeous output is displayed in a dvi/pdf
viewer. Instead of raw tex/latex, you tell LyX what you are doing,
and then type away (for math, using raw tex/latex, of course). It
takes a bit of getting used to but it does work.
Regards,
Justin
