I'd say that was stretching the semantics a bit.
Only if you have a very limited idea of what constitutes "math".
The field of mathematics includes a lot more operations than addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division, and bitwise operations are
nothing if not mathematical. You can define them as functions
with domains and ranges; they have identity values and inverses . . .
