I see that you can insert equations, but I would love to have the freedom of TeX, all mathematics symbols.
Is there any way to insert e.g. $$ \int_{0}^{\infty} $$
and it parses it?

No, Google Documents do not contain a LaTeX parser. There is a limited support for TeX macros, mostly for characters: you can type
\int
followed by a space and get the integral sign; then type^
and get superscript, etc. To use the full power of LaTeX, you need a LaTeX processor, which Google Docs is not.By the way, the documentation to which I linked appears to be outdated: Docs support more than is listed there (examples). The only way to know for sure what's there is to try a command. Just remember that Docs requires space after command, and does not use {} grouping, relying instead on Word-type maneuvers like "Tab to go from numerator to denominator".
