You could put that function inside of a class, where a was a local
variable, and you could set the value was you know it.

You could define math after you know the value of a like this:

(define (Math-maker a)
  (λ (x)
    (+ 1 a x)))

(define Math (Math-maker my-a-value))

You could parameterize the value of a:

You could pass in a as an argument every time.
