Grossly over stated.
Very little of programming is mathematical.
The logic involved is usually no more than find the RED ball.
Programming is mostly moving stuff around, getting it from here
and putting it there. More akin to organizing your closet than
math.
I once debated this very issue with the head of the Math Department
at college. He insisted programming belonged in the Math department.
I insisted it belonged in the business department.
This was before the advent of Computer Science departments, which
took the wind out of both of our sails.
