Divide Me By Zero - I'm reading this one now. The protagonist's mother writes math textbooks. One character mentions that he used to correct his high school math teacher, so that at least implies he went to a math class.
I'm laughing right now about how close Revenant Gun came to fulfilling this prompt without actually doing it. There's a character who has lost a lot of memories and needs to learn some remedial math but does so without going to a class, and at the end another character is about to start working as a math teacher, but we never see them actually go into a class!
The three books of “Math girls”, by Hiroshi Yuki. They are amazing, with actually good math and an interesting story.
