If you want to consider Math an empirical science then it is okay.
It will meet all your criteria.
However math is much better off than just being empirical science like say physics.
So Maths is a logical and deterministic science.
Almost everything in Math can be proved without any need for proofs from empirical areas.
So Yes and No.
Actually, Math is far above empirical sciences.
It has deterministic proofs. They don't change with the results of experiments done with the five senses.
I hope I am able to explain this clearly.

I don't quite understand how you can apply empirical(knowledge gathered through the five senses) to math in the first place, unless your speaking of -> calculus in archiecture, engineering etc. in which case I don't know if it would be considered so

While Algebra is too abstract for my spacially wired brain, the answer is "Yes."
