[libreoffice-users] what is the relationship between latex and libreoffice?

few days back,there was a mail about an extension (probably math) for
libreoffice to integrate latex with it.
what is latex????????
i googled a bit and apparently its an editor mainly for scientific writing.i
am using ubuntu lucid.so downloaded texlive packages from the synaptic.
but i could not understand how to use it?
could anybody give me some idea about it?how to use it with libreoffice?
thanks in advance,
