"maths software" seems less useful to me. Sage is already #5 on Google if you
search for that. Hardly worth paying money to advertise if you are already #5.
In contrast, when searching for "Mathematica", the first hit with Sage in the
name is around #50, which is a comparison of "Mathematica vs Sage" - one where
the author clearly considers Mathematica much better.

However, there are sponsored ads for both Maple & Mathcad if one searches for
Mathematica. (I had to use Mathcad when working at Marconi, and hated it.
Thankfully I had Mathematica at home and could connect via ssh to it, rather
than use Mathcad)
I have set this up, and paid £30.00. Set for English, French and German
languages, and world wide coverage. It will take a bit of time for the payment
to be processed, and since I've set this as "personal" rather than "business",
it has to be approved by Google first.
It should generate 2-4 hits/day and should run for about 30 days, as I've put an
approximate maximum spend of £1.00/day. (The actual spend can be a little higher
or lower than this).
