Use the array package and define a columntype for math:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\newcolumntype{M}{>{$}c<{$}}
\begin{tabular}{MMM}
\text{Heading} & \text{Heading} & \text{Heading}\\
\alpha & \sigma^{2} & a^{2} + b^{2}\\
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
