TL;DR: Programming is language, not math.

And she's right. We even call them programming languages.

I've been doing this a long time and the only maths I've ever needed was trig, matrices like once and maybe a touch of probability. I took a unit each of symbolic logic and cog psych and those have been infinitely more useful.

Then again I'm about to learn Haskell so maybe I'll change my tune.
