No just speed at throwing out strings nothing more. It is no more math then a brute force attack on a password.
Why are people so addicted to this idea?
Do you thing frogs will really sit in a pot of water slowing heating without realizing it too?

You seem to be confused about what ASIC miner does. It is actually computationally demanding to calculate a hash. Yes, ASIC miners calculate sha256 hashes. Now imagine a machine that can do 100 trilion of those per second. Each hash trying with a different nonce, until a solution is found by chance. Only then the solution (a constructed block) gets submited to the network.
No there is NO MATH being done, try one does not effect try two or try 100 trillion it is again just really fast guessing nothing more.
watch this, and tell me it is not math: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3dqhixzGVo
