You can do super dense mathematical code in the ancient APL programming language[1]. I wonder how even more tiny this program could get at the hands of an APL expert if any still exist.

Here are some complete APL programs[2] to give a flavor of just how dense it can get:

Sum integers from 1 to 100:

  +/ι100
Find all primes from 2 to a given number R:

  (∼R∈R◦.×R)/R←1↓ιR
Play Conway's Game of Life:

  life←{↑1 ⍵∨.∧3 4=+/,¯1 0 1∘.⊖¯1 0 1∘.⌽⊂⍵}

I've always enjoyed this video of a guy showing how to write Conway's Game of Life in APL, step by step: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9xAKttWgP4
