TeX math is not supported. The "unicode" option of hyperref only
supports some greek, kyrillic, and some special glyphs.

Example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[unicode]{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\section{%
    Numerical Singularity When %
    \texorpdfstring{$\pi_s=0$}{\textpi\_s=0}%
}
\section{%
    Columns of %
    \texorpdfstring{$[{\bf b},{\bf A}_2]$}{[b, A\_2]} %
    Linearly Dependent%
}
\end{document}
