Math is about (or, more basically, begins with) counting but is not about 'what to count' or 'what (or who) counts'. The latter concerns philosophy. Just my two bits. Good luck, Aidan, and welcome to TPF.

Thanks for your answer :).

I'm a retired mathematician. There seems to be a considerable overlap with analytic philosophy in the foundations of mathematics and set theory, very abstract topics that occasionally generate what are called pathological examples. However, these areas of mathematics are not extraordinarily popular in my profession. More traditional paths of mathematical thought align with the physical sciences better. Other than that, my opinion is there is very little common ground in the two disciplines.
