I guess the answer that you're looking for is that I don't think there is any specific gene that evolution selected for encouraging or inhibiting math intelligence.
IQ has been shown to be highly hereditary. Surely it is not as simple as one specific gene, but I am highly confident (a 10 for sure) that there are some set of genes that affect mathematical intelligence. The question is whether they are correlated with the chromosomal sex and if so how strong of an effect this is compared to cultural conditioning or other factors.
