That depends largely on what you mean by a library of math
functions.  On one hand, all functions/subroutines/classes used in
Octave are available for linking in Octave dynamically linked
.oct files (functionally equivalent to matlab .mex files, but the
source code is not even close to interchangable).  That gives
you access to an enormous suite of linear algebra, optimization,
etc. FORTRAN codes as well as object oriented interfaces to them.

On the other hand, specialized libraries (I'm thinking of, e.g.,
SPICE device characterizations) need to be developed independently.
