If you are interested in math, you might want to check out the debian math
team[1]

Number of ways,
- New packages
- Updating very old packages (lying around) to latest versions
(ofcourse ensuring nothing else breaks)
- Fixing bugs -- we have a number of them[2]
- Doing QA work, adding autopkgtests[3]
- Making packages reproducible, working on cross-buildability etc
For more exhaustive answer if you are looking for what to contribute,
I would recommend going over Paul's email here[4].
