Although I don't really know what math has to do with programming?
Have a look at functional programming. There's quite a lot of mathematics involved there. Basically an entire branch of language theory came from the mathematical concept of lambda calculus.

There's also plenty of stuff like set theory, computational complexity, etc involved in CS (a good example, relational databases are entirely based on set theory in principle).
