It is up to the math instructor to impart an algorithm that imparts understanding and is more than just a lookup table. Yes there are algorithms that would give the right answer w/o imparting understanding.
Well, that kinda refutes your original position that programming imparts understanding about the subject.
The only advantage that programming has is the same advantage that teaching another person has. You have to break the problem down into simpler steps. Teaching the other person has the advantage in that occasionally you get asked the question: "Why?" At that point, you may have to think a bit.
