I actually got started in programming through math.
I had never seen a computer and was barely aware of their existence in 10th grade, but I did have Geometry in that grade. I really took to the proofs in Geometry and did pretty well with them.
Then a year later, I moved to an area where the schools had computers and had a friend who played with them, so I decided to check it out and found a book on Basic in the library.
I was struck at how similar writing programs was to writing proofs, and the rest was history.

I guess If I was starting today though, I would start with C.
