If A is a liar, then it he/she is telling the truth, contradicting his/her being a liar.  Thus A is a knight.  If A is a knight, the the statement is true and at least one of A and B are a liar.  Since A is not a liar, that means B is.  Thus A is a knight and B is a liar.  All of this of course assumes that Math Man is himself a knight :-).
