Depending on the kind of programming they do, possibly almost all the time. I've worked for several major financial companies and we've used everything from high school algebra and trigonometry to create graphics software, up to doctoral-level math when we did probability and statistics. My nephew programs games and he uses all sorts of math to make the the look and behavior of the characters appear realistic. He has to worry about everything from how a ball behaves when it bounces, to how light reflects off a surface.

A computer is a device that can be programmed to carry out a set of math or logical operations automatically.
Because of math, man.(:
A computer has to do with Mathematics, because on a Macintosh, you can download Sketch-Up, for example. Here, you can build your own 3D buildings, etc. This has to do with geometry. Another example is using a tablet to write down mathematical notes on Pixelmator, another application on the Macintosh.
they looked to it as a person that did all the problems for others MATH,READING etc. then they first came out with the controlled computer that so they referd to a human being as a computer
Maybe an abacus?
