For me, philosophy shows the ideals of human affairs and the the higher ideals, but it seems to suffer from too many opinions and contradictory viewpoints. Mathematics gives you the kernel of the universe. Its a much finer grained tool that represents absolutes. Can you look at the heat equation and see the beauty in it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_equation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_equation That the heat from your laptop flows in this way thoughout the air around it. As does the warmth of breath, or body heat or the heat surrounding an open flame? And then there are logical principles that create "elegant" logical structures like in group theory, where you develop two different ways of looking at things only to find out they were one and the same all along (e.g. Lagrange's theorem).
