They sum it up well by saying it is "characterised by complex, atypical rhythmic structures, stop/start dynamics and angular, dissonant riffs." Math rock bands tend to play noisey rock with more complex structures that make it sound "not quite right". This song has an even more pronounced beat to it than much of the music, which gives it the danceable/techno feel. Wikipedia has a decent article on math rock.

I saw a computer program flash up at the beginning - do they write a program to develop the music? It has a slight techco vibe to me - like techno without computer aids. How is it Math Rock?

It sounds like a much more cheerful version of some of Marilyn Manson's or NIN's stuff. Pretty good. It sounds like a much more cheerful version of some of Marilyn Manson’s or NIN’s stuff.
