Econometrics is essentially a field of applied math. Statistics is also pretty closely related to econ, though it sounds like theres a wide range of statistics backgrounds between programs. I had a roommate that studied econ/statistics and always thought it was pretty neat some modern algorithms didn't come from computer scientists, but from statisticians (particularly Random Forests).
