I don't think that outside of the Apache developer community that the "Commons" reference is taken to mean immaturity. If anything, it is taken to mean something that is stable and fairly slow to evolve and hence can be reused fairly broadly (per the tight scopes of each of the modules). FWIW, the word "Math" on its own is fairly geographically localised. The base word Mathematics is less localised. However, given that the module has always been known as "Math", there are no qualms from me in staying with that term.
