Incidently, I'm no math whiz, but isn't a computer program basically a
mathematical representation of something? And isn't a computer

It's been too long since I studied 'formal methods' so I don't quite remember the details, but I always found the fact that a programming language followed naturally out of a mathematical proof system was way cool. This language of course is called Prolog. It kind of proves that programming 'is' doing math in a certain sense.
