About MathML on this site

MathML is used to deliver the equations that appear in the dictionary. For full details, see MathML Help.

If your browser can handle MathML, it is probably preferable to use MathML as it gives a better appearance. Otherwise, you can view images of the equations. The images may take a while to download, and may not align correctly or exactly match the text in size.
