I noticed some problems when I started serving mathjax from my own
machine, which I put down to mathjax loading much more quickly and
therefore beating the page load in a race.  I ended up putting in some
custom HTML that I believed was forcing a mathjax load:

Unfortunately I'm a complete novice with javascript, and mathjax, so I
don't know whether that is a reasonable solution.

Cheers,
