The differences you note are what I consider cultural differences.

Math _indeed_ have the idea about interfaces and implementations. They are called something different (exitensisal types from a PL point of view).

I will recommend you to look into type theory, in particular the book "types and programming languages" provides a very good introduction.

In CS we have two areas that make it completely clear that math and CS are coupled, that is complexity theory and programming languages. After having taken a course in each, and pondering a bit, it should indeed be possible to see the that they are the same.
