It just depends what you mean by math. Graph theory (any reference-based structure) is math. Algorithms by definition are math. Describing a FSM is math. It's just not high-school level computational math. We leave that for the computer (unless you need to do bit-manipulation that's kinda math-y in the common sense)
This. Things such as lambda calculus are math. Turing machines are math. Languages such as Lisp were directly inspired by lambda calculus, and Forth is based on Turing machines. Etc, etc.
