I mean without philosophy there is no math

Math and formal logic are effectively equivalent and philosophy without conditional logic is useless. Scientifically useful philosophy is just "explorative logic" or something like it

Science and philosophy are two sides of the same coin: the basic building blocks of how we perceive the world around us. Both need each other. Logic is often taught in maths classes. It's a bit like how to build a program (in this metaphor, it's how our brains percieve and interact through the world), a little but of intent, and a little bit of code.

Without computation there's neither which is why CS always wins.
