In version 3 you can write AxesLabel -> "\[Alpha]" or [ESC]a[ESC] or use
the Palettes BasicInput or BasicTypesetting (from the file menue).

In[1]:= 
<<Graphics`Arrow`

In[2]:= 
Show[Graphics[{Arrow[{0, 0},{1, 1}],
    Hue[0], Arrow[{.75, .25},{.25, .75}]}]]

(You would have found the previous example in the Online Help typing
"arrow" into the Go To field _and_ checking Master Index.)

You can write your formulars with Mathematica 3 and export them in LaTex
form.
