I use the ABC .chm converter to translate into Word .doc and then go into .prc using either mobigen or BookDesigner.

The Word (or Open Office) formula support is rudimentary at best. I haven't as yet searched for CHM versions of the books, but I highly doubt they're available- PDF is the de facto standard for digital publishing in science literature. And, aside from that, I'm happy when I just need to slap the PDF file on the device without any need to convert.
But more importantly, it seems I wasn't clear about one thing: I wasn't complaining about PDF support. What I was trying to say was that, while it could certainly be improved, I'm quite happy with what I got so far.
As for the formulas, I don't think Mobipocket does have any formula support at all (it is, after all, just encapsulated HTML, right?), so probably the only solution would be embedded images.
