Is there a site that gives quick keyboard commands for commonly used math symbols? Like alt + 246 creates the "÷" sign. I need more.
Thanks!

Wikipedia has a really good page on Alt-keycodes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Alt_keycodes
Here's just a few from the list:
Greek Symbols:
α = Alt-224
ß = Alt-225
π = Alt-227
Σ = Alt-228
Φ = Alt-232
Θ = Alt-233
Math Symbols:
∞ = Alt-236
± = Alt-241
≥ = Alt-242
≤ = Alt-243
÷ = Alt-246
≈ = Alt-247
° = Alt-248
√= Alt-251
² = Alt-253
You can also use the Character Map utility in Windows to pick symbols and paste them into a question or answer. You can find it under:
Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map

Yep! Right on your Windows computer.
Just look under start->programs->accessories->
system tools->character map
Although, frankly, I can't seem to get it to work!
Just did some experimentation: evidently you need to use a set of fonts that have a unicode representation:
∞≥∏

You can use the character map to find the other symbols you are looking for and their shortcut keys. You get to the character map fromt eh start menu, Programs, Accessories, System Tools

In windows the character map is located in accessories under system tools. This has λ, π, √ among others.

¸ - this comes out for me instead of ≈ , my approximately equal alt code seems weird
