This link might interest people who like math(s). It links to extensive references to the use of math(s) in fiction and explains how it is used in the few I looked at.

The first that came to mind was the pentominoes in Arthur Clarke's Imperial Earth. I am surprised to find that this title is not one of the eleven listed under Clarke at the link.
