The Magic of Math

The Mathematician Team was primarily made to help her calculate the locations of arrays. 

Everything had some bearing in maths—even in the natural world. Even if this was a different world, it applied, though a lot of their formulas had to be discovered and studied from scratch. 

Since they didn't have anyone who really understood arrays in the territory, they had to figure it out themselves. 

After the Math team signed a nondisclosure agreement and five-year bonds to Alterra, she taught them what she knew of the arrays—which honestly wasn't much, but it made them cry in gratitude anyway. 

Since then, these people stayed in the research center unless they had to train as per territory requirements. They practically lived in the Research Center dorms—which, by the way, was only there in case of urgent all-nighters. 

They had to kick them out multiple times, especially during their day-offs.
