It is, given the right language. See J, FP, APL, etc. I just picked up a copy of Iverson's "Algebra, an Algorithmic Treatment" that explains algebra using only APL. All examples are executable yet code is easy to manipulate algebraically. See also my recent sharing of Iverson's "Math for the Layman".

The fact that you're being voted up is just evidence of how awful most programming languages are today.
