Well said.
Programming is a hammer, math is a screwdriver. It's not that one is required for the other, is that you will need to use each depending on your needs!
My personal favorites as topics that require a strong usage of both are physics simulations and low level image processing. They taught me that matrices are far, far from useless 😂

I love the hammer/screwdriver analogy Miguel!
