One sees:
\mbox{Payment} = \mbox{Notional Amount} * \left( \frac{(\mbox{Reference Rate}-\mbox{Fixed Rate}) * \alpha }{ \mbox{Reference Rate} * \alpha +1} \right)

instead of the formula

Works for me with Firefox trunk on Mac.

Wikipedia gives me an <img> whose src attribute is http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/4/8/b/48b581aa082010bf789e779ddd03ef40.png and whose alt attribute is the TeX code ("\mbox", etc.) that you saw.  Normally, alt text is only displayed if the image fails to load, you have images disabled, or you somehow blocked the image from loading.

What happens if you try to load the image directly?
