Yes, I was a math major as an undergrad, and it is these exact traits that carried over to computer science / engineering. I see a lot of programmers that are cavalier, don't check (unit test) their solutions, unwilling to wrestle with frustrating problems, and are quick to reach for the "framework of the day" to solve what should be trivial problems. I also add to the list a deep appreciation for elegant solutions (Mathematicians do not like kludges).
