Morphology
The meaning 'a method using mathematics' is directly and transparently derived from the adjective 'mathematical' (pertaining to mathematics) modifying the noun 'approach' (method/strategy); this follows a standard adjective+noun compositional pattern. The combination is literal and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The term mathematical approach comes from the simple image of using mathematical tools, like numbers and rules, as your approach or way to solve a problem. So, it means 'a method that uses mathematics'.
