It is a saying to describe synergy. Mathematically, though, the whole is equal to the sum of the parts - not more nor less.
Close. "The whole is more than the sum of its parts."
Synergy, possibly.
Mathematically speaking, the whole always equals the sum of its parts. However, it is often observed that when many individuals work together they achieve more than working individually. This is not (usually) due to increased working by each individual, but because together they can work more efficiently. As a result it can seem that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

The whole is equal to more than the sum of its parts is a quote from Aristotle. Another quote from Aristotle is the body is most fully developed [at] from thirty to thirty-five years of age, the mind at about forty-nine.

Often times the saying "the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts" is used to describe when it is believed that something has more value if it's separated into it's parts and sold separately than the whole thing. For example, sometimes large companies are believed to be worth more if they sold each division of the company separately rather than selling the whole company.
It is the concept of synergy which is not really a mathematical concept.
