[*Cryptonomicon*][1] is a book by Neal Stephenson. One of the main characters in the WWII timeline is Lawrence Waterhouse, a mathematician and cryptologist. Waterhouse gets to interact with Alan Turing. Neal Stephenson later wrote a series (the Baroque cycle, starting with [*Quicksilver*][2]) which featured ancestors of the characters in Cryptonomicon. The Waterhouse in *Quicksilver* works with Isaac Newton and encounters Leibniz, but is not a mathematician. (I don't think either of these works is as good as Stephenson's *Snow Crash,* but that doesn't feature mathematicians.)
