Well you could say that physics is also math. But conversely, would geometry for example be considered computer science? If not, then computer science is not identical with mathematics.

Something that occurs to me is often when creating programs to run on a computer system we don't know exactly how they will perform in advance, because of the complexity of the hardware and software interrelations within the system. And so we run them and measure the results. That's definitely science.
