It looks like it's very similar or based upon OOo's Equation Editor syntax, which in itself is very similar to LaTeX
I'm starting to use Google Docs, and I think this tool will really help me!
Google Docs equation editor seems to be based on LaTeX language. It appears as a basic LaTeX editor. This is an advantage, because LaTeX and Microsoft Equation Editor are standards used in scientific publications. If someone wants to convert the Google Docs document with equations to a type supported in Microsoft Office Word, LaTeX-to-Word converters such as GrindEQ work well.
