a person who does math is a MATHmatician.
A mathematician is a person whose primary area of study and research is the field of mathematics. Mathematicians are typically interested not in calculating, but in finding and describing patterns, or creating proofs that justify a theorem mathematically. Problems have come from physics, economics, games, computer science and generalizations of earlier mathematics. Some problems are simply created for the challenge of solving them. Mathematicians differ from scientists in that physical theories in the sciences are usually assumed to be an approximation of truth, while mathematical statements are an attempt at capturing truth. If a certain statement is believed to be true by mathematicians (typically because special cases have been confirmed to some degree) but has neither been proven nor disproven to logically follow from some set of assumptions, it is called a conjecture, as opposed to the ultimate goal: a theorem that is proven true.

Hmmm....tough one. Someone who does mathematics....I don't know, how about "mathematician"?? Yes, I'm liking the sound of that.
