Not so narrow. I'd say it may contain all mathematics that is computable, which is a rather big subset. Essentially all constructive mathematics.

That's a lot of stuff. For example, probabilistic programming is concerned with all computable distributions. This is the most general class of sampleable distributions.



Narrow in a sense that it's one specific angle to view math problems. But the range of problems is indeed great; hell, parts of computer science have or may have direct relation to how we view reality itself.


It really isn't narrow. Mathematics, philosophy and computer science are just three different ways of viewing the same problems.
