The language brain matters more for learning programming than the math brain

Code is logical in nature and is defined by mathematics.

I'd agree code is usually governed by mathematics, not defined by it though.

Goes back to this ridiculous proposition:

- Cashier: You mean, I used math to give you change?

- Customer: No, giving change doesn't use math, it IS math!!!!" [2]

The proposition is that "code IS math", not defined by, not uses, not inspired by, not relies on, not modeled after, but IS.
