My limited understanding is that MathML isn't very well
supported. (Firefox supports it reasonably well, but gets some things
wrong; Chrome doesn't at all. Don't know about any others.) SVG
support isn't great in browsers either.
The web pages I've seen with nice display of math seem to use
MathJax (www.mathjax.org). Pages with nice plots sometimes use flot
(www.floatchargs.org). Both of these use Javascript. I've never used
MathJax. I've used flot for some simple plotting of data; it's fairly
easy, even if you don't know very much Javascript.
