In Google Docs' document editor, there's a rudimentary support for adding mathematical equations.

I didn't find anything like that in Google Docs presentation editor.

Anyone know a workaround?

See this thread in the Google Docs forums.

A mathematical formula created in a Google Docs text document can be dragged to a presentation slide.

That's so inconvenient. I must say I'm really not content with the state of online office suites. I'll see if there's a better workaround, and if there's non - I'll accept your answer. Thanks! – Elazar Leibovich Jul 27 '10 at 20:16
the math-symbols are created by the Google Chart API (code.google.com/intl/de-DE/apis/chart/index.html), so it is just referencing an image by an url. eg, you can use the equation editor and get back the url of the preview-image and then use that url in the presentation. otherwise it is just as simon said. – akira Jul 28 '10 at 8:34

That's not true, nowadays. A formula in Google Docs CAN'T be dragged to a presentation anymore. – user21799 Jul 4 '12 at 12:30
