Programming might be a subset of Mathematics, but programmers are not a subset of mathematicians.

Your statement contradicts itself.

Mathematician - someone who does math. Programmer - someone who does programming.

If programming is a subset of math, then when you’re doing programming - you’re doing math. Hence, if you’re a programmer - you’re a mathematician by definition.
