There is not a yes or no answer to this question since MathML is not a 
program.  MathML is an international standard XML specification for the 
electronic or digital represention of mathematics.  Here is the official 
link to the latest information.
http://www.w3.org/Math/

MathML is not intended to be read by humans although it, like other XML 
formats, can be read directly if necessary. Typically MathML is converted to 
typeset math for visual reading or to braille math for tactile reading. 
Because of its flexiblity and comprehensive nature MathML is the standard 
format used for mathematics in EPUB 3 documents.

There are many different programs that can be used to produce MathML from 
various kinds of math entry.  Some of these programs are more accessible 
than others.
