So what is the difference between a Mathematics major and Math Sciences?

Think of Mathematical Sciences as Applied Math. Many of the students in that program would have done a major in Computer Sciences if it existed at the time.

I had several friends who were MathSci majors in the early 1980s.  If I recall correctly, it spanned 4 disciplines - math, CS, operations research and statistics.  One of those friends is now applying his experience and love for sports to develop a web service to help fantasy players select their teams.
