Without knowing what your system is, that is of little help.

What do you mean by that?  is the algebra wrong? does it disagree with
Serrat's c.19 version? have I missed an equation out? ...  In Chrome 21,
the bar of a fraction is, or can be, too long (that's a known
MathJax/Chrome bug, in hand).  Aha - last line, first equation, RHS,
second term, shows '\muf' in red, should be 'uf' in black, with 'u'
there representing Greek 'mu'.  A possible token such as "\mu" is
terminated by the first non-letter, so the code must be "\mu f", not
"\muf", but the next equation can use "\mu'f".  Thanks.
