The huge difference between the hemispheres is is largely a myth,
there is no fundamental difference in how they work. It is just that
the functions tend to be lateralized when they have no direct
connection to sensory input or actions requiring both sides of the
body. Mathematics can be both logical-verbal and artistic-visual, so
there is no strong reason to think it will be found on one side or the
other.
