Yes. Math notation is independent of time and space. Code isn't. Math is a pineapple upside down cake. Code expresses one (of many!) recipes to produce one. The danger here is if you start equating math to code and you write an algorithm in, say, an imperative language on a uniprocessor, you can become blind to declarative/parallel solutions. The math is the Platonic ideal of the thing in question, and it doesn't change. Always keep the math in mind and don't get lost in the code.
