It would be interesting, and great, if in this culture women did the math. Women used to have the role of doing calculations in the U.S. (and elsewhere in the West), back in the 30s and 40s before computers.
As an example of how gender roles can vary, I was in the Himalayas and in the local culture, the women did the physical labor. They carried our (heavy) bags where we stayed, and I regularly saw them carrying massive loads of firewood, on their backs, bent double, up and down mountain trails. I'm not sure what the men did; I only saw them playing cards and drinking (tea?).
