Mathjax is both static content and server.

There is an FAQ about this https problem.  I think that part of the issue
is that they don't use the same URL for both http and https connections.

http://www.mathjax.org/resources/faqs/#problem-https

The URL that they suggest to use for getting mathjax.js is

https://c328740.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js

This is required because the rackspace cdn won't allow the http address to
be used with https.  Perversely, this https address also breaks when used
with http.

My guess is that if we update our css/headers/templates to use this https
address then things will work.
