      Yeah but they slowly develop to be their own fields. You wouldnt argue that physics is math either. Or that chemistry could technically be called a very far branch of philosophy. Computer programing, physics, etc are the applied versions of math. You are no longer studying math, you are studying something else with the help of math. Not that it matters much, just makes distinguising between them easier. You can draw the line anywhere but people do generally have a somewhat shared idea of where that lies.
