I would agree that a branch of CS deals exactly with the mathy part, e.g. algorithms, graph theory and so on. Then there is the systems branch; the UX/UI branch touching upon psychology etc.; a branch dealing with didactics etc. I don't see why there shouldn't be a history of CS branch under the larger umbrella.
Personally, I think "informatics" is a better name than "computer science", but that's just my biased opinion.
