Well, she wasn't exactly a mathematician as being queen of France ;-). She did invent one mathematical design though, called La Harpie.

When the French soldiers went to America to help the Americans fight their revolution, the news came back to Paris from the front that soldiers had seen a new animal specie they had never seen before, and they called it the Harpie. At that specific time, the pouf-hairstyle invented by Marie Antoinette was hotter than hot, and it was especially the trend to have one that portrayed an event. So Marie Antoinette designed a triangular design that was supposed to present the Harpie and had it printed on several dresses and ribbons. Soon it was a huge trend and everybody dressed "a la Harpie". It looked a little like the Louis Vutton logo and was a mathematical design.
