Alan,
<snip Are there other ways, besides MathML, to make mathematical equations
accessible?

What kind of equations are these? One thing that can be done is to write
them linearly. So, instead of writing the dinominator below the numerator,
but a "/" sign next to the numerator and then place the dinominator and
enclose the fraction in brackets. Use different brackets (){}[] to indicate
different nesting levels.

As for greek letters and math symbols, font plays a critical role. You
would probably have to use something like a word document.

Also, check out wintriangle; see http://www.viewplustech.com
