No, math book is a common noun; the proper noun would be the name of a specific math book or a title using the term math book.

The only one I could find that used the specific term 'math book' as a proper noun was: 'The Math Book: From Pythagoras to the 57th Dimension, 250 Milestones in the History of Mathematics' by Clifford A. Pickover.
