You're not doing math, you're using mathematical tools. Calculations are effectively arithmetic, and that's not doing math any more than typing code is doing programming.
It's a lot more complicated than that, but setting up the equations is the doing of math - solving the equations is just manipulation, and that's using, not doing. The difference is important - conflating the two leads to many misunderstandings.
