I have recently started a blog, in which I talk about programming, reading, science, and math. Now, for the programming part, I have installed SyntaxHighlighter, but I am rather confused with what I should use for math. I'm thinking about using MathJax, since I'm used to it and it's pretty good. The issue is, MathJax will interfere with other stuff. For example, it can interfere with any PHP code (which has lots of dollar signs) that I use on a programming post.
Now I want to keep the inline/block dollar signs, but I don't want it to blow up other stuff. I was thinking about associating MathJax with a certain CSS class, so that I can enclose all sections which use math extensively with those tags. By this, I mean that I can still type normally within those divs (without having it math-ified), but I can use the dollar signs and get math code. Outside the divs, any dollar signs will be left alone.
Does anyone know a configuration option that lets me do this? I know JS, but I can't find any options in the documentation. Thought I'd ask here before plowing through the code.

add class="tex2jax_ignore" to your document <body> tag, and then use class="tex2jax_process" on the containers for the parts of your page where you want to include mathematics. As others have pointed out, you can configure the class names to use for these features. E.g.
<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
MathJax.Hub.Config({
tex2jax: {
inlineMath: [['$','$'],['\\(','\\)']],
processClass: "mathjax",
ignoreClass: "no-mathjax"
}
});
</script>
Then your page would be
<html>
<head>
...
</head>
<body class="no-mathjax">
...
<div class="mathjax">
... (math goes here) ...
</div>
...
</body>
</html>
Hope that helps.

There is a configuration option, processClass: "tex2jax_process"
The final configuration becomes:
tex2jax: {
inlineMath: [['$','$'], ['\\(','\\)']],'
ignoreClass: "[a-zA-Z1-9]*",
processClass: "math"
}
});
