Yes?

You can form hypothesis and prove it or not.

But science is based on empirical methods.

Math isn’t empirical. You don’t do experiments in maths do gain knowledge.

It’s not a natural science and not a social science so that leaves formal science but math in a requirement for formal science. Math can’t be its own requirement so it’s not a formal science either.
