I'm saddened by people being dismissive of mathematics here but I think it's because a lot of people dont see maths as being much more than arithmetic and statistics.
I strongly urge you to look at Category Theory, which is a branch of maths.
It is a broad area which is concerned about formalising abstractions, such as sets.
Formalising abstractions Does that sound familiar? If you have any interest in functional programming you owe it to yourself to investigate it.
Category theory has practical applications in programming language theory, for example the usage of monads in functional programming.
