Disclaimer: I prefer to eschew labels and categorizations as they lead to heated & mostly unproductive conversations. These conversations often serve to close minds by creating stereotypes and ossifying one's often incomplete perspective on the subject matter. That being said, this article's main examples are programming applied to domains that rely on mathematics. Domains that don't rely on mathematics tend to have less mathematics. Programming is (mostly) about creating automatable systems or automating processes. Depending on the process, mathematics may or may not be involved. It's easy to imagine a programmers going their entire career without encountering mathematics. I personally like to automate mathematics, however it's not "necessary" to be a programmer. Mathematics will make you more "well rounded" just like a liberal arts education would.
