Physics and biology are sciences because they put theories up to
falsifiable tests.

But most of the esoteric math theorems in abstract set, algebra,
geometry, and field
theory have not been tested. Moreover, they cannot be tested. Thus,
they cannot be
scientifically verified or falsified.

Is math, thusly, a pseudo science?
