What kind of mathematics do you want to learn? If you are interested in discrete mathematics and algebra, Haskell has something to offer. I would also read http://www.amazon.com/Conceptual-Mathematics-First-Introduct... which is a great introduction (unspecific to code).

If you are more interested in linear algebra or numerics, I would suggest to get to know numpy better.

Thank you! I fond the sneak peeks of number theory, algebra, probability, combinatorics and graph theory I've had so far to be quite enjoyable. But keep in mind my run with geometry hasn't gone past Euclid (the illustrated version of the Elements edited by Taschen) and I'm still in the dark about other fields (I'm using Professor Gowers' The Princeton Companion to Mathematics for direction).
