lyx [1] is great for live editing of latex . Set the instant preview Tools>Preferences>Display>Instant Preview if you want automatic latex rendering, although the editor rendering is nice as it is.

For something that is more of a calculator, SymPy [2] with sympy.init_printing() would be rendering latex automatically in any Jupyter notebook.

Specific tools I created for my own use for leveraging the above is pypad [3] together with calcpy [4] (%load_ext calcpy)
