Morphology
mathematician = mathematics (transparent) = mathematics + ian
The agentive/person-denoting suffix '-ian' attached to the field 'mathematics' yields a person who practices or is skilled in that field, a predictable and regular derivation.
Etymology
Mathematician comes from the Greek root mathema, which means 'learning' or 'what is learned', plus the ending -ician, like in musician, which means a person who does a skill; so a mathematician is literally a person who studies or works with mathematics.
