Aren't humans referred to as a mob or a mass (i.e. a mass of humanity or a mob scene)? Assuming you meant human mathematicians...I would guess that either mass of mathematicians or mob would be appropriate.

I don't worry. Oh well :)
On the bright side - maybe it means I'm not a mathematician :)

How about a set or a group? If a group, what would be the operation for the group? A lobotomy, perhaps?
