Physics is not a subfield of math. It has entirely non-mathematical origins (see Aristotelian physics [1]).
Computer science was developed by mathematicians as a study of algorithms, procedures for computing, and methods of abstraction. In the words of Hal Abelson, computer science is not a science and it's not really about computers in the same sense that geometry is not about surveying instruments [2].
