I brought this up at our last meeting and we discussed it.
Officially, you can insert equations into your website using MathML. Unfortunately, Google Chrome does not support this, so it does not work. I uploaded my MathML page to my website, and you can try it out.

A URL that seems to work better for those of us outside your network ;-) is this one:
I'll note that the browsers I had handy were Firefox and Chrome; I concur with your comments on the handling of the quadratic equation.
Those results are not extraordinarily surprising. The one I'd wonder about is Safari; I would assume it doesn't support it.
There is an interesting list of browser support for MathML.
Apparently, at one time Opera *did* support it. The set of other browsers that do have support are largely Mozilla derivatives. (e.g. - ones like Camino, Galeon, Netscape (which was where Mozilla came from)).
The one other interesting one (in being "not like the others") is Amaya.
https://www.w3.org/Amaya/ I'm quite surprised that they had a release as recently as 2012; I hadn't seen that one in YEARS!!! :-)
When confronted by a difficult problem, solve it by reducing it to the
question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"
