In addition to Max's observation that you need to use a MathML-aware
browser, looking at your source code I see you left out the
<math>...</math> tags which must surround every MathML expression.  

In lifting the examples out of chapter 2, I think you must have missed
section 2.2 on how to embed MathMl in a document, and the warning text
at the beginning of 2.3:
