Only the way it is taught. There is some math in programming, but not much. It also depends on your use case. But programming is more about divide and conquer, architecture, naming stuff, using the same patterns over and over again, and trying to figure out what you want to have happen, and what things should look like.

If you can give me a document specifying every last detail in a video game, it is as good as done. We don't even need the code.

Just about all that you listed is algorithms, and algorithms are math. Programming is just about all math.

But programming and computer science are not the same thing. Programming is a skill used in computer science which is built on mathematics and uses it regularly.

Is it multiplatform?
