So you tried to apply your philosophy homework to your math class. Did you also try applying math to your philosophy class? I bet that didn’t work either.
Philosophy courses, a scam to make money off of naive college students. In fact a lot of the required courses are just money makers for the universities and actually worthless for the field you’re going into. Hopefully with the effects of Covid on the college scene, parents and students will wake up to these facts and demand a better product for their tuition dollars. Or maybe they will even look at skilled trades, a lot of highly skilled workers are retiring out and leaving six digit jobs that are going begging for people.
Math works by definition. 1+1=2 because we defined “1,” “+,” “=,” & “2” that way. The rest follows. Now & then someone figures out how to define something else that may work better & they get their names in new math books.

Bertrand Russell was wrong, as he was on a lot of subjects.

I always say “what if math is wrong?”
Life as we know it may not even exist….

Math is provable, philosophy is opinion and mostly unprovable.
