Mathematics is the foundation of Computer Science. The field was created by mathematicians. This is why all the schools of Computer Science I have ever encountered teach maths to their students. The truth is, you can be a programmer without understanding the theory of computation, or logic, linear algebra etc. But you will be a wiser, more competent, flexible programmer if you know the maths. And there are some things you can only do if you know the maths.
