Back when I was doing Math research it was common to submit LateX files to ArXiv. A quick look at some of the Physics papers, though, suggests it may not the case for other fields.

There's no real need to know so much math for most professional programming jobs. Math problems tend to be over-represented on challenge sites because they are easy to implement.
