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.
