There's a hidden distinction between the calculations and the computations. Calculation is the arithmetic, computation is the administration: logic, order of operations, variable management, data structure, etc. You don't need much calculation ability to be a good programmer. You absolutely need good computation skills, especially logic. Maybe you can use programming to teach you more advanced maths. Matrices are a bizarre concept to me, but I understand arrays very easily.
