In the widest sense of the term computer and programming language,
actually calculators and real mathematics are programming languages.
Programming languages is a way to communicate problems with computer.
Computer is anything that does computation (and that includes
calculator and a room full of a bunch of people doing calculation with
pencil and paper[1]). The expressions we write in a calculator is a
(very limited) programming language, while mathematics conventions is
a language to communicate a mathematician's problems with the
computers[2] and other mathematicians

[1] Actually the term computer was first used to refer to this bunch
of people
[2] The computers in this sense is people that does computation
