Computer science is mostly "math" only at the lower levels - things like language design, how the bits work in the actual circuits, etc. Exceptions are things like 3d graphics and crypto, but most "normal" programmers don't need to understand the underlying math there.

Most CS comes down to logical operations and the scientific method.

Problem -> Research -> Hypothesis -> Experiment -> Analyze -> Results -> Reapeat until problem is solved.

You can program if you can reason well enough.
