Awesome!
I suggest you get an OBS account right away and start with MathMap from git:
https://github.com/schani/mathmap
I guess going with 1.3.5 (tag v1.3.5) would be best. The only changes
since then were a new curve widget, anyway. To get the .tar.gz to
upload to the build service you'll need to do "make dist". That step
includes an invocation of chpp
(http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/schani/chpp/index.html), but the
only thing that it does is replace the string "\version" with the
proper version number in the .spec file. I suggest either replacing
that with sed (or something similar) or just doing it by hand - you
don't want to build chpp just for this.
I've uploaded the mathmap project directory from my former OBS account
here, in case you need a reference for which files to put in and how
to name them:
http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/schani/mathmap/mathmap-obs.tar.gz
If you need any more help, please let me know!

It means you need common lisp, also ungif and fftw development as well
as the gimp development files
Just open your package management and search and install those packages
