What does that even mean?
That there are no bitwise operations in math.
You imply math == arithmetic, which is false. If you take a look
at e.g. Algebraic Coding Theory, it basically uses bitwise
operations to model polynominal arithmetic.
If you want a mathematically correct representation of the
integers modulo 2^n (which is what most closely resembles an int
in math), you'll also have to disallow the less than and greater
than operators, as they cannot be defined sensibly on a cyclic
group.
