Everything (and I mean e-e-e-everything) in my workplace is problem solving. Beyond the very occasional cartesian product, maths as such (and it's so wonderful to see someone use the word in its plural form) never gets mentioned, let alone considered. I expect there's a fair bit of it around, it's just not acknowledged as such.

Having said that, the database guy is trying to quantify aspects of SEO using SQL databases. He's probably doing a metric tonne of mathematics, though he doesn't acknowledge its presence.
