I think you misunderstood me. Sure, you
can make many things without math, but whether or not it's smart to do so without math is another thing. In order to design an algorithm that's fast, memory efficient, etc, you will most likely need a solid math background. Somehow I'm wary of using a database that was created by someone who claims they didn't need any math to create the add/remove/search/etc algorithms. I imagine the speed of such algorithms could be improved substantially with a good math background.
