<div dir="ltr">To the best of my understanding and some rather hasty googling, mathjax doesn't provide sans-serif mathematical fonts. <div><br></div><div>I'm also pretty sure that in Beamer, in most themes even though it uses sans-serif CM variants, it still renders the math using serifed CM (or at least it used to years ago). You have to switch to special packages to get sans-serifed math, such as the cmbright one.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In summary, the business of getting proper sans-serif math rendering is highly non-trivial, and ultimately it's a question for the MathJax lists. If mathjax supports it, we can too simply because we use unadulterated mathjax. But if it's not something that mathjax can do by itself, IPython isn't going to help...</div>

<div>Shouldn't Mathjax do the same, especially in the context of the IPython notebook, where the default fonts for markdown are sans-serif?</div><div><br></div><div>Best, </div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div>
