I would support this, but only if it doesn't noticeably distract from implementing other important features. I imagine that MathJax would have a real, but niche use on Software for more theoretical discussion - for example, to show formulas used to compute the big-O running time of an algorithm. It would have no real use for e.g. discussing how to implement things in code or explaining the idiosyncrasies of libraries; but Software is acknowledged to have a broader scope than Some Other sites do.
