jsMath: A method of including Mathematics in Web Pages

The jsMath provides a method of including mathematics in HTML pages.
It works across multiple browsers for both Windows and the Macintosh.
jsMath uses native fonts, so they resize when you change the size of the text in your browser, they print at the full resolution of your printer, and you don't have to wait for dozens of images to be downloaded in order to see the mathematics in a web page. Complex Analysis Examples.
More jsMath Examples.
I'll give it a try on this blog a bit later...

To be sure there are other options as well....
An XHTML + MathML + SVG Profile
Backwards Compatibility
For HTML 4, SVG drawings can be embedded using the 'object' element. The following example shows how to use the 'object' element to include an SVG drawing via a URL reference with an image serving as the alternate representation in the absence of an SVG user agent:
<--!html>
<--!body>
<--!object type="image/svg+xml" data="drawing.svg">
<--!The contents of the 'object' element (i.e., an alternate image) are drawn in the event the user agent cannot process the SVG drawing. >
<--!img src="alternate_image.jpg" alt="alternate description">
<--!/object>
<--!/body>
<--!/html>
