Mathematics is a tool that you as a programmer are supposed to be able to use (among other tools) to solve problems.

There is nothing wrong with mathematics and it is certainly not reserved for "the elite" whatever that is supposed to mean.

Convention is irrelevant except to ensure other people familiar with the convention can easily know what you're talking about. For programmers it is especially irrelevant as we usually only care about finding solutions to problems.

Correctness does not "only exist in the framework itself". If I ask you "if there are 6 people in the room, is it possible that among them there is no group of 3 which know each other and no group of 3 which don't know each other" the only correct answer is "no". The fact that this concept has a name in mathematics does not make the answer "no" any less correct.

Dismissing the importance of mathematics because you somehow find it "elitist" is anti-intellectualism at its worst.
