I like this analogy. When I hear someone compare programming to math I assume that they mean what I would mean if I were to say it. Specifically, their similarities lie in the realm of logic. Some programming problems require specific areas of mathematics, some others, some none at all. All programming, as well as all real mathematics, require the ability to reason logically about a problem. Based upon this understanding, I can't chose any of the poll options, but if I had to, I'd go with geometric proofs as well.
