C# API for MS Word Equation editor

Is there an API (preferably C#) to access the object model of equations created with MS Word's equation editor? I am looking for an API like the chart object to access properties of charts in Excel, for instance.

Any help would be much appreciated.

This is called "Office MathML" (OMML) or sometimes "Ecma MathML". You can learn more about it here. You have access to it via the Open XML format. These days, most people are using the OpenXML SDK to access Office's XML vocabulary. Use the DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Math namespace.
