Dijkstra? Hoare? Knuth?

Well my hypothesis is that regardless of one's opinion of the value of mathematics to programming or mathematical knowledge, one is likely to advocate that a strong mathematical background correlates with opining one's given assessment of the value of mathematics to programming ;)

Or they're doing programming in a domain that involves a math a fair amount of the time.

(Like robots.)
