Default Computer Science vs. Software Engineering?

What is the difference between computer science and software engineering.

Also, how much math is involved in each?

Computer Science is general "Computer Knowledge".

Software Engineering is "Computer Programming" - the design and creation of software that runs on computers. You would get a job as a software engineer, but there's probably not many jobs as a "computer scientist" -- They're all specialized.

There's not much math in computer science or software engineering. Mostly you will use logic.

Computer science is general computers, while software engineering is building software. However, many IT jobs, including software engineering, are leaving on Fat Albert to India, so it might not be a stable field.
