Depends on the level of math or level of programming.
Generally, mathematics helps you understand complex codes.
You have it just backwards. The language of mathematics is the only unambiguous language that I know of. All natural languages, even Esperanto, are ambiguous. For example, consider the sentence "Time flies like an arrow", which can be interpreted in at least three ways.
I think it depends on the language fluency. In my case: read and execute the code help me understand math much better than just looking at the equations. Having the equation is helpful to understand the code, but in a lesser degree.
In developing software or any other engineering product, one should start with a specification the new product should fulfill. If that product's specification is written in any language other than mathematics, the specification will be ambiguous and hence as a specification inadequate.
