I've always loved math, but as things get more complex I stop thinking in math and start thinking in code.

I think your conflating math as all-descriptive of all properties. It's unfortunately not. Mathematics describes patterns, not procedures. You started thinking in code, because you started thinking about problems as procedures, not patterns.
