Coding IS math.

Not "coding uses math", I mean it is math.

  Mathematicians do not deal in objects, but in relations among objects; they are free to replace some object by others so long as the relations remain unchanged. Content to them is irrelevant; they are interested in form only.

I don't know how you code, but I don't think I'm aware of code that can't be reasonably explained as forming relationships between objects. The face we can trace a program seems to necessitate this.
