First, I don't know the specifics of using Calibre for images, but here is the css code I use to make images work in epubs which will be converted by kindlegen to Kindle.

Generally I upload d a high resolution image and then specify the width for certain sizes. Kindlegen will downconvert the images as needed.

From my example, I said that width was 95%, but you can make it 30%, 50%, whatever.

For more background about formatting images for kindles, see their publishing guidelines. kindlegen.s3.amazonaws.com/AmazonKindlePublishingGuidelines.pdf
Eventually I imagine you could use MathML instead of a graphic, but that's not supported yet in Kindle.
