I think "technical metal" is a better term. 
Try out Cynic - Focus, Extol - Undecieved, Spiral Architect - A Sceptics Universe, and Death - The Sound of Perseverance for some good stuff in that area..Meshuggah too, well if you can sacrifice a lot of melody....ok stuff but I'm not into them as much as the other bands.

Math(s) Metal is about the queerest name for a genre I think I have ever heard. There's nothing in that name to even make you want to listen to it. Somebody has to coin something better than that!

Math Metal just refers to the rythym jumping around, but still adding up to something constructive.
Mudvayne do have technical rythyms.

Math Metal is the made up term for polyrythmic bands like Meshuggah, et al.
Actually, I believe DEP was once penned as CalculusCore, but I can't remember.

Dillinger Escape Plan, Mastodon, Burnt By The Sun, Converge, Botch, Knut= math metal.
Mudvayne is called math metal because of their obsession with numbers. At least that what I read in Close-Up.

there's no such thing as math metal, it's made up. DEP is hardcore, and Mudvayne is just nu-metal or hard rock.
i think "technical metal" would be a better name...for bands like Meshuggah, and Cynic.

This is dumb. Mudvayne is just mallcore, they have like one or two tricky riffs/beats, nothing to be excited about. Meshuggah on the other hand does well at that, and Mastodon too I'm guessing although I haven't heard enough to know...
Acctually, Mudvayne are a great example. While their social status leaves a bit to desire, their guitar work and arrangement of music is pretty well done and always revolves around an equation or number.
