It's all about deriving at a particular answer(s) using a system of logic.

Acutally , Math and programming are pretty similar.
A CPU is a logic device, code runs on a logic device, and mathematics are logic-based thinking.

Anyone can code, but very few people do it well, and I notice there are a lot of personality characteristics are similar to people who code really well. The first being that most good developers lack the ability to feel empathy toward other human beings. They're very much ego driven and sure of themselves. If you had to put it in one sentence, coders are sociopaths that don't commit crimes.
Yeah, I will have to agree with that.

Even deeper than that, thanks to Boolean algebra, logic is a branch of mathematics.

I would say yes programming changed the way I think, just as any learning experiance changes the way I (or I would hope anyone) think. When I learned Lisp, suddenly I was able to look at functions, mathematical or otherwise, in a whole new way. While learning C++ I learned how to think about things as objects. If you learn something and it doesn't change the way you think in even a small way, have you really learned from it?

Excluding that Mathematics and Programming are connected with logics and other things like that. While programming you do not need mathematics, only in rare special cases. In the all other time, you just need to know the arithmetics - add, sub, mul, div, mod. nothing more.

Wait, say that one more time, I don't think I'm understanding the point you're trying to get across.

Mathematics is not the reason we have logical thinking.
My point is something really simple "Programming and Mathematics have nothing in common"

A CPU can only do 4 things - it can do integer math, floating point math, logic (jump to another location), and read/write memory.
