* Basic support for various Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) - Maple, Maxima, Octave, Mathematica * Equation arrays, equation numbering, theorems, customizable math macros, matrices, algorithms, and much more. * Copy/paste to and from LaTeX source code. Formulas are immediately visually rendered on screen. * Equations can be entered via point-and-click interface or via keyboard with LaTeX commands (optionally via auto-completion). * Mathematical formula editor which is easily best of breed. Here are some of the features, classified by category. LyX is a fully featured document processor. LyX is released under a Free Software/Open Source license, runs on Linux/Unix, Windows, and Mac OS X, and is available in several languages. On screen, LyX looks like any word processor its printed output - or richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced - looks like nothing else. No more endless tinkering with formatting details, “finger painting” font attributes or futzing around with page boundaries. LyX is for people who want their writing to look great, right out of the box. A broad array of ready, well-designed document layouts are built in. But you can also use LyX to create a letter or a novel or a theatre play or film script. In addition, staples of scientific authoring such as reference list and index creation come standard. This results in world-class support for creation of mathematical content (via a fully integrated equation editor) and structured documents like academic articles, theses, and books. LyX combines the power and flexibility of TeX/LaTeX with the ease of use of a graphical interface. I would like advice as to how to get this to work successfully.LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents (WYSIWYM) and not simply their appearance (WYSIWYG). Skipping common root directory ("C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9"). Skipping common root directory (C:\ProgramData\MiKTeX\2.9).

Here is a 'scape' of the last such report. This appeared to report two lines of ‘successful’ activity and two lines of ‘perhaps not successful’ activity.

I did not find anything that I could associate with ‘Frontiers’. I looked at the drop-down list under ‘Document Class’. I restarted LyX, specified File -> New, and then tried Document -> Settings. I ran MikTeX 2.9 > Settings (Admin), and triggered (first) ‘Refresh FNDB’ and (second) ‘Update Formats.’ I extracted all the material from the folder Frontiers_LaTeX_Templates into the folder Program Files (x86) > MikTeX 2.9 > tex > latex > Frontiers. (I seemed to need to use Windows ‘Admin privileges’ to do this.) I created a folder (which I named Frontiers) under Program Files (x86) > MikTeX 2.9 > tex > latex. I followed (several times) the process that How to Install an Unavailable Document Class for LyX on Windows recommends. In any event, I tried to follow advice in one of those answers. (Note: LyX does not list such a class as 'unavailable'. I want to install the Document Class that the journal "Frontiers in Physics" requires.
