If You are reffering to me:
No I wouldnt say that.
If You do exercise in Mathematics, then certain areas would get an increase in grey matter.
( increase means afaik, that there is a rise in synaptic density or neurons.
But I´m not sure whether there would be an increase the neuron number,
because the migration is afaik low from the SVZ and Hippocampus)
So, just as Mediatation does this to the PFC and Amygdala.
The Pfc shows some advanteges for Math skills.
See below
Although, I´ve read somewhere that there is sometimes a difference of the used Brain area.
Some People use another Brainpart for Mathematics than other.
Unfortunaetly goggle wont help me to find this Article again.
So, if You are interrested, You could search for that.
Transcranial direct-current stimulation (TDCS)
Could be used as well for exercising, because it would stimulate the Pfc, as described.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation
would be an alternative, but its afaik not possible to build or buy Your own device.
