Math is mostly about proofs, and many behaviors of computation are simply not provable, but are still useful. Of course it's possible to use models, formal systems, simulation, formulas, and other tools of mathematics, but arguably there's a clear symmetry breaking. (But it's not really surprising, as most numbers are unnameable and uncomputable. So many things in math are like Turing machines, just they are not that useful.)
