> CS is really a mathematics major

The CS I'm familiar with has aspects of mathematics, engineering, science, and even social sciences. It's a field that studies things related to computers and computing by any means necessary. Most CS programs are narrower in scope, because students only have a few years to study, and studying something in depth is generally better than covering a little bit of everything.
