However, the Calibre book viewer only displays text without any formatting:

Obviously the Book Viewer is not loading the java scripts and I wonder why? I have included the keyword "defer" in the script tags but without result. It also doesn't work to move the scripts to the bottom of the page (above the body tag). I would like to know if all this is because I am doing something wrong, or because of a bug in the book viewer.

When I open your EPUB in Sigil, the formatting works in the preview screen. If I open your EPUB in the external PageEdit program, it doesn't work. If I open the EPUB on my old Galaxy J7 in the GitDen E-reader, it works.
The fact that JavaScript can work on an E-reader does not mean that all (combinations) of HTML, CSS and JavaScript code can also work in all E-readers and EPUB apps. In addition, for example, Google Play Books does not allow JavaScript and Javascript must be allowed on the E-reader.
I don't think the problem is the JavaScript not loading, but the EPUB render software version not being recognized.
To make your EPUB work properly in PageEdit I've put a webkit class over the HTML on both chapters to make it work:
Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops" class=" -webkit-">
This modified version also works flawlessly in my GitDen app on the Galaxy J7.
