C-c C-x C-v will display your LaTeX equations as graphics in the buffer. No need for other software. You could also look at UTF-8 mode (C-c C-x \) to display \alpha and x_y as their respective greek and subscript sympbols, for example. And finally you could look into various pretty-symbol modes so your text and even python code looks more analog. With pretty symbols np.sum(sqrt(x)) looks like the greek sum and the sqrt symbols. A cheap ASCII view would be: Ev(x) -k.
