All the time - my brain is drawn to those topics. Plus, I tutor professionally. but even if I didn't, my brain sees patterns, notices mathematical replationships. I couldnt stop that even if I wanted to. And yes, that includes Calculus. My daughter has a conical bath toy with a hole in the bottom. It's a related-rate problem waiting to be solved, watching the water drain out. I see things like that every day. Same goes for scientific topics.
