Formulas are not displaying: [math]

Greetings,

I was hoping that someone has seen this issue that is affecting just one of my students:

The formulas created in PGML are not being displayed, instead they are being rendered as "[math]".

This is occurring on a one year old MacPro Airbook laptop using a safari browser.
All other students have no problem with the display.

A screen shot of the issue within a PGML table is shown below.

Any helpful hints for this student?

Tim

In my experience this usually has something to do with javascript. If the computer is running something like noscript, then I would expect this.

If this is happening on all problems, then it is probably related to the computer/browser. The first suggestion is for the student to reload the page while holding down the shift key. This forces a reload of all the dependencies of the page (including MathJax), and not just the page itself.

Switching the browser to Firefox did the trick.
There seems to be something about mac laptops using the Safari browser that will occasionally have issues with webwork?
