I would say no. STEM is science, technology, engineering, math. compsci is a math degree.

Maybe math is a tool/framework used by scientists? Physics is another example that is largely math.

Physics : Engineering :: Computer Science : Software Engineering

Math is both a philosophical enquiry (pure math) and a tool (applied math & statistics).

Physics as a science uses math as a modelling and analysis tool.

I've always parsed mathematics more as a language than a science, because it's not necessarily empirical.

Perhaps as a language combined with rules to operate upon that language, transforming true statements into other true statements.
