In mathematical theorems the initial conditions are rather uniform without much if any of special cases. Thus mathematical proofs needs typically much less control flow to cover the initial conditions than computer programs. In fact many proofs are just straight deduction without single if to cover corner cases. Such type of "code" is simple to check. One just checks for logic of deduction, not the coverage of all initial conditions.
