"<" and ">" characters are valid only markup elements in HTML (part of 
tags, comments). MathJax interprets text content. Normally, to add text 
"<" or ">", "&lt;" or "&gt;" should be used in HTML sources. Browsers 
may pass "<" and ">" from source to text content if they are totally 
confused by invalid markup that does not resemble tags or something 
else. I do not think, it should be abused.

I cited MathJax docs just to show a temporary workaround till the bug 
will be fixed in Org. It is quite strange that Org properly converts 
"<>&" to entities in text but leaves them as is in math snippets. Unsure 
whether git history might clarify some reasons of such behavior.

If you submitted HTML file, you might suggest to open sources to make it 
obvious that the mistake was not intentional.

"$idf(t)>c$" means "i*d*f(t) > c". A bit more markup required to make 
"idf" typed in straight font instead of italics and to avoid additional 
space between characters.

It is matter of taste, but "{}" after "\in" looks a bit strange for me. 
"$t\in q$ is even shorter, "$t \in q$", having the same length, is more 
readable from my point of view.
