Actually this is not entirely the case. There is an aptitude for CS itself. I wish I could remember the computer scientist who did this study, but he says essentially that there is a direct relationship between SAT math scores and success in CS courses for non-CS majors. However for CS majors this relationship does not hold true. That's not to say there aren't a lot of people good at math in CS-- far from it. They do seem to go hand-in-hand but there are those with a programming "streak" who are math-challenged.
