Personally, I would advocate TeX/LaTeX for communicating equations.
It has the advantage of running on a vast number of horribly baroque
machines, having a wide array of output drivers and, most importantly,
it is relatively readable in unprocessed form, unlike something like
postscript or eqn.

Oh, yea...and it's free...;')
